CAX80/AX6000 missing time zone setting option for Arizona (Case # 43925670)
To whom it concerns, I was directed to post my problem here (presumably so that others can search for it). My problem is that our newly purchased modem/router (model: CAX80/AX6000) currently ...
Hi Doug,
Thanks for your reply, I didn't see it until now.
You're right on leaving the DST auto-adjust unchecked, but the problem still exists that half the year Mountain Time is correct and the other half Pacific Time is. (Right now, during DST, Pacific Time is correct)
I'm unsure of the feature you mention about local time being within an hour, can you explain, please?
Much appreciated,
Paul
I am not currently using the CAX80 and have never lived in AZ, but I was trying to make two points. If AZ is UTC-7 all year long, then it seems like you should be able to select Mountain (UTC-7) but be sure not to enable the DST checkbox (which causes 1 hour additional difference during summer). In other words I don't think you should need to be doing anything with Pacific (doing so would indicate to me that the DST checkbox function is not disabled in way that I expect). Second point was that accurate time in the router is not used for very much, at least for me. Most obvious thing would be timestamps in any log files. Only other thing is that there are probably feature(s) where you can do something like turn Wi-Fi off with some scheduled time. If you are not using features like that, then the router probably does not care what time it is. I'd guess that the majority of users have it set to whatever is the default (Pacific without DST?) regardless of where they live in world - and they don't even realize it.
