Kobo Mini N705 won't allow WiFi set up

Greetings People . . . . purchased a used Kobo Mini N705 and was taught the kiss of death when I tried to update. Contacted Kobo and they pretty much said "Oh Well" . . . Grrrrrr
So I was directed to this forum to learn about a firmware upgrade to work around it and I'm still having troubles. There seems to be some very smart people out here that I'm convinced can help me before this thing becomes a skipping stone in the frigid waters on Lake Huron!
I have uploaded and loaded two different firmware programs (one for the Mini and one for the Glo (non HD) as suggested. Tried the two at different times and nothing. I went as far a reformatting the Kobo through the computer but wonder if that's something I shouldn't have done?
No when I fire up the Mini it goes to the Date and Time selection (AL GOOD), the NEXT to the "scanning for Networks", Once I select the network, it tried to Log In and after about 15 seconds it says "ERROR" Unable to join . . . .
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance . . . Greg
