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 for the follow up.
I have noticed that upon reboot of the switch, the time is always seto to 1969.
It takes an hour or so before the switch attempts an SNTP sync with my router.
Once it does all is fine.
I would assume this function would happen a bit sooner, or I would have some ability to trip it to happen sooner but we do not.
While I suspect this is not a problem, I would like the time sync to happen a lot sooner than what appears to be a random start.
