RAX75 NTP SETTINGS FAIL TO PERSIST
After installing V1.0.3.98_1.0.46, The router's clock seems to be stuck between 22:10:32 and 22:11:59. Also, the NTP settings are not persisting.

To expand a bit, the router will detect the correct local time on a restart, but never advance much beyond the following couple of minitues. The seconds change, and the minute may move back a minute and cycle a minute or two, but the log entries and clock just roll through a minute or two range.

I am experiencing the same issue on RAX80 with the 1.0.3.98 firmware. My only remedy to resolve the issue was to manually load the previous firmware version 1.0.3.92
Ultimately, this morning, I found a way around these problems:
One problem is that the NTP screen always seems to return to a single timezone after trying to reset it. In my case that is GMT-12, as opposed to GMT-8 (+1 for DST). I would describe this as careless, first on because it does not reflect the "automatic" timezone that is supposedly a feature of this release, and secondly, because it does not seem to have an option to override the "automatic" feature.
So though the time would initially display correctly in the log, it was constantly reseting back a minute or two.
What I realized this morning was that the router was slowly nudging the original time back to GMT-12, effectively trying to compensate for the "error".
After doing a plug-pulled reboot, resetting the timezone (and having it come back after the "Apply" as GMT-12), and then doing another reboot, the router finally stuck with local time, though the NTP screen still displays "GMT-12" as the TZ.
Now if I could only figure out how to clear the long-gone devices from the "Attached devices" list without doing a full reset....
