Nighthawk AC1750 R6400
My Nighthawk Router is plugged into my ISP's modem/firewall/router. When the Netgear Nighthawk loses power or has to be rebooted, the time setting gets screwed up and it can't get the new time ...
RFC 5905 governs NTP (time server), which means you must always use UDP port 123. Try that... I don't see why Netgear would use a non-standard port.
In simpler terms, to be more clear:
My ISP's firewall/modem is blocking whatever time server the Netgear router uses. If I drop the ISP's firewall, the time on the netgear router works fine.
What ports do I forward/trigger on my ISP's firewall, or what do I need to do in order to allow the Netgear router to update its time automatically?
Thank you

I went into the ISP's modem/router, set it to trigger on UDP port 123 and it works.. well... at least it works on my computer now. My PC wouldn't update its time unless I dropped the firewall, now it updates with the firewall up.. Going to assume the Netgear router will do the same.
Thank you,
