Well, I never really used the wifi; it would only be useful for me in combination with the Kindle and Dropbox/Mendeley app. If I can't get it to work, I still have the exact same functionality as before rooting. No need to buy a new one. However, it would be nice to extend the functionality a bit. Since I don't know of a device with e-ink, native Dropbox/Mendeley/Kindle app, and touchscreen for note-taking, rooting the seems to be the best option.

My other devices are working fine on every wifi-location. Can't see how I would have physically damaged it (didn't drop/burn it, spill anything on it, etc), but a firmware restore (you are talking about Porkupan restore-set.zip file, right?) doesn't change anything.

Nope, it doesn't find any network.

I don't think there is a way for a wifi router to only broadcast the network to specific devices. Either the signal is broadcast, or it isn't. In my experience, devices not in the MAC-whitelist do see MAC-secured networks but cannot connect to them. My PRS-T1 doesn't see any networks at all. That being said, neither of the networks I'm trying to find is MAC-secured.
