R7000 Date/Time is Wrong wrong wrong, old firmware, new firmware

Yes, the modem is displaying the right time, as is a check connection to netgear time service.
Fortunately an admin here sent me to support, who sent me firmware V1.0.5.49_20151231_ntp
and that fixed it.
I didn't set the DNS, the router did when I enabled Parental Controls. If I try to change it now, it tells me that I must "The DNS Server changes will not take effect because of Parental Controls. Disable Parental Controls if you wish to set DNS."
Naturally I don't want to lose Parental Controls, it's the main reason I purchased the R7000 (that it uses OpenDNS for parental control) instead of the Asus competition.
Since, however, I showed in my message above that I am able to access the netgear time site, DNS blockage would not seem to be the issue.
What country, ISP and modem?
Israel, Bezeq International, using a TP-Link W9970 VDSL/ADSL2+ router with modem (though not using it's router functions with wifi disabled, beyond a pass through to the R7000)
AkivaM if you login to your TP-Link W9970 VDSL/ADSL2+ router is it displaying the correct the date and time?
