Time Configuration problems on a GS724Tv4
I am having problems getting the SNTP Time Configuration client to work. Its doesnt even look like its trying to get a time from any server I enter. Has anybody got any advice on how to make it work?...

Here are the steps in troubleshooting Time Configuration on a NETGEAR Smart Switch:
1. Make the firmware is on the latest version.
2. On the SNTP Server Configuration Address, try to use an NTP pool specific to your country. For example: if you are in Czech Republic, use cz.pool.ntp.org or the equivalent IP Address of the NTP pool.
3. Check if you have a DNS configured on the switch.
4. Try to set the IP Address of the default gateway on the SNTP Server Configuration Address.
5. Factory reset the switch and start from scratch.
6. If the same problem occurs after trying the steps above, kindly open a chat or online support ticket with NETGEAR Support at anytime.

Thanks, but it was the update to 6.3.1.16 last week that started this off. The time on the switch was alway fine before.
Oddly though, after leaving it for a couple hours, it decided to start working. Nothing I did, as I left it alone after posting this question.
Strange.

Hi HomeServerGuy,
Since it worked after leaving it a couple of hours, I suggest you to observe if the same problem occurs. Keep us posted.
