Ye Gods!!!! absolutely bloody not! Don't you know that the whole world revolves around GMT? :smileylol:

I fixed the issue. It would appear that when I attempted to change the NTP, I was connected to my VPN and it seems that this might have caused the issue. I clearly don't know how, but after I disconnected my VPN, I went back into the R7000 browser GUI and I have now successfully set the NTP to GMT and my own preferred server.
