Well done! That was thorough troubleshooting. Thanks for corroborating the problem.

A few moments ago, I couldn't connect to any WiFi networks. I rebooted the networks, and cold cycled my Kobo Libra Colour twice. Then suddenly I *could* see the 5GHz network and connect to it. This is after 30 hours of trying and failing. Also, even with Nickelmenu removed, I have seen the WiFi routine forget my password at least once. So perhaps correlation, not causation was at fault, but there is a spotty issue with WiFi regardless.
