GS108Tv2 SNTP timeout
My GS108Tv2 will not connect to any SNTP servers to sync the device's time. I have tried many different dns names for North America. All of the status eventually show "Request Timed Out".
I can ping the DNS names (e.g. time.chu.nrc.ca, time.nrc.ca, pool.ntp.org, etc)
I have also tried the same server which my firewall is configured to use (0.peplink.pool.ntp.org)
I updated the firmware to v5.4.2.36 but have the same result.
This post did not help me resolve my issue.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this?
Thank you,
Michael

Double check default gateway and DNS.
Try ca.pool.ntp.org or to exclue DNS from the equation e.g. 205.206.70.40: (one of the Canada pool.ntp.org for example).

Thank you for your response.
The lookup works with an ip address as you suggested.
I tried changing the DNS settings to use Google's servers. However, using the DNS names still fail with a timeout.
Anything else to try to get the DNS names to resolve?
