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!
