However it was when I went to set up via wireless where was I encounted the problem. I could change and set time, date, time zone but as soon as i had entered the wireless password and it had connected, it returned to requesting date, time, etc.
I looked on the internet where I found a post on Reddit where someone had the same problem and they were told it was due to too out of date firmware. It said that as from May 2023 a security update made it only possibe to be able to do do a firmware update by writing the new firmware into the .kobo folder of the reader. However when I connect the Touch to my Ubuntu Linux laptop, it doesn't see the ereader at all.
I'm going to try writing the firmware image to a 8GB SD and try that in case the original was corrupt.
Has anyone else encounted this? Any suggestions what I can try next?

Download Kobo Desktop and connect the Touch to the computer to register it. It's possible the firmware is too old to connect to WiFi and once you get sorted, download and install the latest firmware.
