The Libra 2 doesn't support 5 GHz, so it would be rather concerning if the Libra Colour doesn't either, despite the advertised specifications... |
To get back on track to your original suggestion after quite the journey, I can report the following:
According to comments in that article from 2014, iwlist is considered old and has been replaced with iw, which is not installed on the Kobo. I’ll put a pin in that one for now, but you can clearly see that I’ve connected at 5 GHz.
The question is, what did I do to fix it? All I did was reboot a few times as I removed nickelmenu, and then I added nm back. I also did a database repair. None of those are related to Wi-Fi. Initially, I blamed the correlation of sluggish and forgetful Wi-Fi troubles to nm because the problems went away when I removed nm. I also had troubles with the Libra Colour intermittently not mounting on my iMac. That has also cleared up. Perhaps the several cold power cycles that I did repaired whatever issue was at fault.
I appreciate everybody’s detailed feedback, as well as your willingness to educate me on new aspects of Linux without being snide. I wish I could definitively point to what I did to fix this issue to be of use for others who come upon this thread.
If you have any questions for me, I’ll try to answer them.
