Date and time not getting set correctly
So ive been having problems with my router not getting date and time correctly. I got this router from the store a few weeks ago. Only had one fairly minor issue with it. the network assigned time is...
ya the fix was update to the newer version 1.0.7.2_1.1.93 and the system time corrected itself
On the LOGGING tab under ADMINISTRATION (ADVANCED) is "Router operation (startup, get time etc)" checked?
The LOG entries for time should look like this:
[Time synchronized with NTP server] Tuesday, Jul 12,2016 06:21:03 [Internet connected] IP address: 184.88.19.241, Tuesday, Jul 12,2016 06:21:02
I noticed you have TRAFFIC METER enabled. Turn it off and see if it still happens after a re-boot.
Others have reported the same here and have called Support and gotten a special Beta F/W for it and it fixed it.
Also see this one, https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-WiFi-Routers/R7000-Time-and-date-is-wrong/m-p/1059600#M28642, it was a DNS problem.
I think ive proven that its not the traffic meter messing up this. http://pastebin.com/XptdLain Checked system time after and it still didnt seemt to be working.
I also tried changing the dns records to these from google. The ones on the other forum didnt give me and websites or any changes in this either
googles dns
Primary = 8.8.8.8.8
Secondary = 8.8.4.4
and the ones from the other post didnt seem to work at all https://i.imgur.com/8O8eaXL.png
and the logs from this test with the google one that actually gave me internet and not no dns. http://pastebin.com/4rYaWbVs
The only thing i havent tested is the beta firmware by contacting support which ill probly do later today or something.
How would i contact netgear support?
