Wifi + Time issue w/ PocketBook InkPad 4

[Darrow]

I have a brand new Inkpad 4 running Koreader. The device itself is connected to the internet. A quick browser search confirms this. But on Koreader there doesn't seem to be a connection.

Under Settings > Network > Network Info - I get a Gateway Ping failed message

Wifi is showing as on in Koreader. It is running the latest version (Full Moon)
PB software is U743g.7.8.4143 (assuming thats the latest as it updated when I first got it)

Another issue I'm having is the time is unable to be changed. The device main menu shows the correct time, but in Koreader the time is 8 hours ahead. When I try to change the time, it says "Current Time: " and displays the same time without changing.

If anyone could help me or point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.
