The "new" part sounds fishy. The menu sorter adds "new" to menu elements that don't belong to any known category. Unless you manually edited your reader or filemanager menu entries time ago please check there's a single plugin called "calibre.koplugin" in /mnt/onboard/.adds/koreader/plugins. The old one was called "calibre-companion.koplugin" or something like that.
About network topology: ip/port works always (as long as you can ping the ip of the calibre server from your kobo). Auto-discovery relies on your router, as it needs to broadcast the connection attempt to all the devices on your network.
Auto-discovery can be flaky if you use some sort of wifi extender, different subnets or certain firewall rules.
