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.

AkivaM Where is the router connected? Is it just a modem or a modem and router in one?
By the way, did you reset?

How can I get that firmware to try???
Yes! I would like to try the timesync version of the firmware too. Sounds like it would fix the issue!
Open support ticket and they will give you the firmware.
I did open a ticket but because I've had my R7000 for more than the 90 days of free support (bought it Summer 2014), they closed it. I can't go for the telephone support option as I'm in the UK and it would be too costly to ring the USA.
Further to my previous reply, I've found the UK support number but see how much it costs per incident. As this problem was caused by me updating my router via its web interface, where it was telling me that new firmware was available (which, incidentally, isn't now on the download page for the R7000) I don't see why I should pay! I'll just have to wait till the release version is available.
