FVG318 - Multiple issues
This device has only been serving as a wireless access point connected to our internal LAN through a LAN port, with a static LAN IP and correct subnet mask. It was working up until a few weeks ago...
Apologies for the double-post. This issue resolved itself spontaneously this morning. Apparently, this is an issue related to netgear's NTP servers (http://forum1.netgear.com/showthread.php?t=74216), based on similar issues reported by others, and the apparently concurrent resolution of both their problem and mine. Admittedly, correlation is not causation, but it is suggestive at least.
However, for reasons unclear to me, setting the alternate NTP servers to two from ntp.org didn't resolve the problem for me yesterday. I wonder if the server is actually hard-coded, despite offering the option to input alternate values.
I updated my firmware from 2.x.y.43 to 2.x.y.67 yesterday in an effort to resolve the problem, but the date remained wonky.
Just wanted to note that this was apparently a self-clearing jam, although I suspect the root issue is still active. Perhaps someone from netgear can try to diagnose this, as even their newer hardware seems to be subject to the issue.
