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...

I will note that the odd flood of NTP.pool requests has died since I did a factory reset.
So the problem I set out to find and fix seems to have been sorted by that reset, would be nice to have my router in the correct timezone as well.

Try disconnecting the router from the modem/ont. reboot the router the try to change the time zone...
Try using a different pc to see if it changes...

Gives warning:
Warning: The router is failed to connect to NTP server, please check your Internet connectivity or try another NTP server
but the drop-down still reverts to GMT 12.
Hmm, only PC I have. Couldn't find how to switch it through the app.

Did you re-flash the firmware?

I have similar problem in previous firmware version.
Currently, to minimize router problems, I reset the settings to default before each upgrade. After a upgrade, I also reset the settings to default and set everything again.
Below my settings (working properly):tempus1.gum.gov.pl - is Poland government time server.
Try to reset router
Set NTP with properly name of NTP server
It worked for me. - aglaesemannMay 16, 2022Aspirant
So today my router decided to do its 500+ DNS requests going from my router to
1.pool.ntp.org
2.pool.ntp.org
Really like to know what's going on here. I saw this happening when I began this thread, I flashed to new firmware and reset settings. The requests went away until today now they are back. I have a separate system running PiHole so I can visually see these requests begin again today and emanate from the router. It is interesting that the NTP settings don't work as well.
I reflashed it just now and reset settings after the flash. NTP settings still won't save on anything but International Date Line still.

what browser did you use?

Wondering if this is some Malware foothold or possibly my router starting to fail.
Weird that it won't hold any NTP setting (Even tried your settings for fun, but reverted upon save.).
It's odd that NTP is only setting having issues and after a few weeks it starts to query the Pool time servers like crazy. Talking 500+ an hour. Weird.
