time conflict (maybe)

I have been playing with debug looking for red flags for conflicts for devices to try and understand why I keep droping and noticed that in the normal 192.168.1.1 UI the time I see is correct. However in the Debug .ZIP I see the "same time" but a diffrent "time zone". 
I'm not sure what time my devices see - but I know this could cause sync issues and since my devices see the SSID and are connected but have no communication with the orbi --  I am wondering if this could be a sync issue - such as I am in PST but the orbi might be sending UTC times

-- "have not check this" Its probally in one of my linux server logs that flash by that I need to freeze but just to lazy figure out..

    I will check and see if this will cause a issue.

      on the beta 2.1.5 for a few weeks no issues then randomly the orbi lost internet connection and my systems wouldnt talk to the main orbi

      rebooted and the orbi had date and time a few weeks offs - even the debug files it created were using the same date and time - 

       

      visited the schedule page in the orbi admin advanced settings and it ? reset it self ? all i did was load that settings page and everything changed to normal

       

      not sure whats causeing the time shift 

       

      debug logs are no help cause they start after I have restarted the router and not when the actual problem occurs 

      there was also no log of when the orbi changed its time the debug logs would read 4/24 then changed to current time 5/31 with no log created 

      I am guessing all the issues I have been having with disconnecting and loss of internet are from this time bug - I have had 1 RMA  and the new unit has the same issues.

        Have you tried to revert back to the current non beta firmware?

      I replaced the Orbi with a diffrent company for the time being
      (no issue with other company)


      the issue is still present many devices have issues connecting and viewing site

      * date and time is set correctly however what is used is diffrent

      maybe its related maybe its not .. but i give up
