R7000 Wrong Date/Time after firmware update

I tried all the options given on different forums but no luck. Netgear support gave me beta V1.0.5.49_20151208_timesync firmware which fixed the issue.

Hello guys! I decided to keep my router running FW version R7000-V1.0.3.80-1.1.38. I tried to run many other versions, but always with some sort of issues. The last FW update has a lot of features that I would like to use them, but when I downloaded that the router started to drop frequently a camera connection which is used for security purposes, so that I decided not to keep R7000-V1.0.6.28-1.1.83 version running. Even though I think the new version has security improvements, I'm going to pass. I've also noticed that the date and time is a cronic problem on this router specifically. There are lots of posts talking about it since the router has been released, nonetheless I'm anxious to update my router, but with a FW that really works.
Hi oseiasslompo,
Have perform a reset on the device after the firmware update?
Hi JamesGL,
Happy New Year.
Before making the update I did factory reset of the settings. After the firmware update I did factory reset of the settings again. Afterwards I enetered all settings manually. After that hard reset of the router for couple of minutes. Time zone updated too.
Problem is still there. Very strange. Even with the latest firmware (v. 1.0.6.28).
Regards,
Nikolay
Hey JamesGL,
I've performed a complete reset, but it didn't work. I'm gonna continue checking it to see wether it will work. It seems that the wireless issue with my camera has gone, but I'm not sure yet. The time and date are still wrong BTW.
Hey JameGL!
The communication issue with my security camera has come back. I'm gonna rollback to R7000-V1.0.3.80_1.1.38 FW version which is stable and it has time and date working perfectly.
Best regards,

I have the same poblem and reset dosen't help. It started when I switched from Comcast to ATT gigiaPower. I have R7000 and R8000 and same issue on both and posted in troubleshooting forum and no fix yet. There is no manaul way to set the time in router. After reboot Router time goes back to Jan 1, 2015 for R8000. This makes router bandwith meter and also security / schedule to block servies useless. Router use to work fine behind comcast modem. If I switch router to AP mode from route moder it sync time fine. Switch back to router mode no time sync. Firwall is off on Uverse modem so it is not that. This is in logs on startup. Looks like a delay of 1 second to connect to internet. If you get [Internet disconnected] Thursday, Jan 01,2015 00:00:21 that means router will never update time after that.
