What NTP server are you trying to connect to?
I'm currently using my ISPs and it's been able to authenticate and connect to it no issues.
Ensure you are entering the NTP Server address correctly.
Are you able to ping it at all?

Im just using the default setting which i believe tries to connect to the Netgear NTP server. And if i can remember correctly other than the initial first setup (which i never had problems with) my router has always said that it could not connect to the NTP server no matter how many factory resets ive tried including 30-30-30 factory resets. Hell, ive tried 1week-1week-1week power restarts/resets.
i actually havent tried to ping it for the simple fact that i never noticed any connection issues or speed issues. From that i really never had a reason to try and ping. I just thought i would add that bit of information since i noticed it and it might help others as well.

OK. At the very least have you tried using an alternative NTP Server Address?
ie Google or Cloudflare? or your ISPs NTP Server (if they have one).
The reason I asked if you can ping it, is to see if its reachable from your Network.
If it's not reachable from your Network, it's not going to be able to establish a connection with the NTP Server.
OR if the NTP Server Netgear uses is down, then it wont be able to establish a connection.
