Sudden wifi connection problems

franklekens · 01-28-2025, 11:16 AM

I have several Kobo devices and all of a sudden none of them want to connect to my home wifi. Nothing seems to be wrong with my wifi network (other devices all connect perfectly).
I'm aware they can only connect on 2,4Ghz, and for some reason they don't seem to see my network anymore. Or they see it briefly, but it quickly disappears from the list again.
The firmware on all of them dates from October or something, and up until yesterday everything worked fine. (Or well, as good as it does with these things.)
Any suggestions? Similar experiences and ideas as to what caused (and/or solved) it?

I've had the problem with a Kindle a few times. Restarting my router solved it. Worth a try.

Thanks. I did actually update the firmware before and that didn't seem to have helped but this does. (Either that or I was making a typo in the password before this, I can never exclude sheer stupidity on my own part.) Either way you get a deserved thank you. :-)
