R7500 System Time Not Correct
The system time on my Netgear R7500 Router is not correct and is reading Dec 31st, 1969. I have a static IP set using googles DNS servers, I have attempted reseting the router to the factory image, ...
I was able to fix this on my own by doing the following.
- Download and install telnetenable.exe (https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/netgear/telnet.console)
- telnet into my R7500
- use the "date" command to manually set the date and time of router
- root@R7500:/etc/config# date -s 2016.09.22-16:00[:00]
Who needs Netgear support when I can have free root access to the box :) I wanted to install NTPD onto the busybox system, but I could not get he package to install. Has anyone else had experience with this?
Good Luck!
what model modem and how is the r7500 connected to it
It is an AT&T (PACE) 5268AC Router/Modem. The R7500 is connected to it like so:
Internet POP (Fiber) > 5286AC WAN Port IN > 5286AC LAN Port OUT > R7500 WAN Port IN
Funny thing is, i have a Netgear R6200 running in AP-Mode for my upstairs connected to the LAN port of the R7500 and it is able to pull the correct system time.
is pace in bridge mode if not 7500 should be in AP mode
Yes, the Pace router is in Bridge mode, so the R7500 has my Public IP.
Ok,
Why a static IP and google DNS? AT&T not working?
I use a static IP because the field I am in requires that I have one. I switched to Google's DNS for troubleshooting purposes, AT&T DNS works fine. It doesnt matter which DNS I choose the time issue still exists.
