NTP Settings Refuse to Save
Nighthawk R7000
Firmware Version
V1.0.11.134_10.2.119
Did a factory reset after the update.
Everything works fine, but NTP settings.
Stays on GMT 12 and if I put a custom NTP server in the blank, it is deleted after save settings are completed.
I can see (through PiHole) my router reaching out DNS requests to ntp.pool servers like 200 times within 15 minutes. This just started happening after updating to the latest firmware.

Does using NG NTP work?
How are you entering the custom NTP value? host name or IP address?
Really don't understand why I can't change the drop-down though. Always resets to GMT 12:00 International Date Line.
Even when using Netgear NTP the drop-down refuses to save.
What browser are you using?
Upon closer inspection the time zone is changing, just for some reason my router is not keeping my selection and resorting back to GMT 12 only in the dropdown. Attached image of what is actually GMT 8 and GMT 3 according to "Current Time". Can see the time is different in both images, yet the list says GMT 12.
Another weird thing is I noticed in my DNS requests that suddenly the router stopped trying to go to pool.ntp.org and is now going to time-b.netgear.com without me doing anything to the settings.
Yesterday, 5/19/22, the default Netgear NTP server stopped working. I have tried just about everything but nothing is working so I am currently using time.google.com and that is working just fine.
