As far as commands go, Kobo uses BusyBox, so you're limited to the commands it supports, unlike with a full Linux distro. Thankfully, at least iwlist is available for diagnosing this.
I didn’t see your reply because I was busy working up my Elipsa entry. As you see above, I also wonder about why there are no 5 GHz channels showing up in the Kobo Libra Colour list. I can’t help but think that this is related, but it’s a bit outside of my skill set.

No, I didn’t. Could you tell me how to do that? If you mean on the router, I can figure that out. I have an older apple airport on a subnet from a Netgear Wi-Fi six network which is upstairs. The Netgear multi broadcasts one channel which is capable of both 2.4 and 5 GHz. The Apple airport has two separate networks for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Initially, the Libra Colour couldn’t even see the 5Ghz network, nor could it join manually. I haven’t tested with the Netgear network bc it’s spotty from my bedroom.

If you mean on the Kobo, I’ll need a bit of guidance.
