## Known issues
* **WiFi Connection Problems:** If the Librem 5 won't connect to your network, verify that the phone's date, time, and time zone (in `Settings` > `Details` > `Date & Time` are set correctly. At present, it's necessary to turn off the automatic date/time settings and set these manually. After successful connection, you can return the settings to automatic. If you're using MAC filtering on your router, don't forget to allow your Librem 5 in the router settings first. Using hidden SSID on your router may cause intermittent disconnection.
* **WiFi does not connect:** If the Librem 5 won't connect to your network, [verify that the phone's date, time, and time zone are set correctly](https://forums.puri.sm/t/why-is-there-no-wifi/11107) in `Settings` > `Details` > `Date & Time`.

If you're using MAC filtering on your router, don't forget to allow your Librem 5 in the router settings first. Using hidden SSID on your router may cause intermittent disconnection.
* **PureOS updates fail after first setup:** This is caused by an improper timezone or date/time setting required to configure the WiFi connection initially. Solution: [Re-enable the "Automatic Date & Time" setting](https://forums.puri.sm/t/myl5-unable-to-download-updates-for-librem-5-not-valid-yet-invalid-for-another-2h/12119) in `Settings` > `Details` > `Date & Time`
* **Standby mode:** Currently no standby / suspend mode available. Screen just gets dark.
* **Battery fuel meter** [needs adjustments](https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/linux-next/-/merge_requests/198) and for the time being is not precise. E.g. when fully loaded, the red charging led turns off and battery fuel meter indicates 70%. Recent improvements have synced the battery level indicator in the notifications area to the level in the Power settings panel.
