This worked great but I also found this solution on line with additional steps so I'm posting it in case you find the additional step necessary:ġ- Go to your internet dashboard provider or router dashboard and you will need your username and password).Ģ- Select ''wireless mode '' and change it to ''802.11 b/g/n mixed'' (before I had it set to 802.11 g/n mixed).ģ- Select ''Auth mode'' and change it to ''WPA2-PSK'' (before I had it set to WPA-PSK)ĭon't mix lowercase and capital on your network name. Just take the latest one.Īfter much frustration, I finally found the solution to my inability to connect consistently to my wifi was to change my router setting from 802.11 g/n to 802.11 b/g/n through my internet provider homepage. You can see the list of available firmware versions on. I doubt this will solve the WiFi issue, but, there may be a fix for the WiFi included. You can try manually installing the updated firmware. Once connected to the WiFi, connect to the Kobo server.ĭoes it do the first two? Does you router show if an IP address has been allocated? Or show the device in the list of connected devices? Can you reach the Kobo server from one of your other devices on the network?. ![]() Connect to the WiFi and get an IP address.When you choose your network, prompt for the password.Display the list of available WiFi networks.During the setup, the device will do the following: The Clara HD does.īut, the question is what "doesn't connect" means. Some of the older devices won't connect after a factory reset as the device connects to a Kobo server upon connection and the original firmware does not support the security protocols now being used. So try that and see.A new Clara HD should connect to WiFi. I was getting a long time in syncing (which resulted in me just exiting the software and never completeing) and when it updated that went away. There was an update to the desktop software so that has changed a wee bit. Also you can delete the desktop software and reinstall it. Try using the Devices internal wifi to do a sync. with the old look of the Kobo desktop thingy before it changed, everything was so simple to use and navigate and I never had any problems downloading books. bearing in mind that I am absolutely useless when it comes to anything too techy. Many thanks in advance if anyone can give me a few pointers. When I plug the reader via the USB cable, the reader ask to be connected (or not) with the computer. In fact both OS are up-to-date (Kobo OS on the reader and Arch on the computer). I suspect an hardware problem on the reader. I've been trying for almost an hour this evening to download a book to my ereader and am just about ready to trash it and go back to "real" books!! My problem is to connect the reader to my computer. is there a Kobo problem and does anyone know if I am doing something wrong myself. My computer will say that it's updating the kobo software and then everything just hangs and I have to Cntrl/Alt/Del to reset everything. When I click the "sync" button it says synching, and when I disconnect my ereader the ereader says that it is "processing new content", but the new book is just not there. I can get them into my library and read them in my library, but they just will not load onto my ereader. Since that time I have had nothing but problems trying to download books. ![]() I noticed some time ago that there was an update with Kobo and when I clicked into my Kobo programme on my desktop, it looked very different to what it used to look - much more cumbersome to navigate and use. I have had my ereader for about 12 months and have generally had no problems in purchasing and downloading books - I have only purchased books from the kobo website - never anywhere else. ![]() Hi - I've just joined and am hoping to find a solution to a problem I have been having downloading a book to my kobo ereader. ![]()
