Libra Colour Can’t connect to wifi

easterncoyote · 11-25-2024, 02:56 PM

I opened my Libra colour today, and the wifi was not connected. I have not had any problems in the several weeks I have had it. I tried turning the wifi on and off, and restarting the Libra, but it won’t connect. It’s not showing my network as a remembered network, even though it has always connected automatically.
I know the problem isn’t my wifi, as I have other devices connected, including a Kobo Clara colour.
Thank you for any help!

Well, not knowing what else to try, I reset my Libra back to factory default settings and set it up again. It still wouldn't connect with my home wifi, so I tried to connect using my phone as a hotspot, and that worked. I tried again with the home wifi, and it now worked. So, I have no idea what was going on, I just hope it keeps working!

I'm glad it worked out! I'm no tech expert but my go to when I've had similar issues is rebooting-turning off and on-the router. Sometimes our wifi is working fine for devices that are presumably less fussy than my e-readers and my old internet radios. Rebooting hasl often fixed connection problems I've had.

Sometimes it also seems it's just something off in the network that our provider fixes before too long.

Thanks Jaylia! I will try that if it happens again.
