R8000 Date and Time incorrect
Firmware Version V1.0.3.36_1.1.25 Just cannot get this router to set the correct date and time from the internet, which makes the scheduling function useless. Tried all the other suggestions men...

Reset it after the update.

Normally I would not care, but since I use Readyshare it matters. All the files use this data/time when created/updated.

Yes, I can confirm that it has fixed the issue. My router now shows the correct time. Many thanks!
This does not solve the problem for me. I have my R8000 behind a WNDR3700v4 running as an AP. Readyshare is disabled on the WNDR3700v4 and active on the r8000. The attached drives are where my problem is. The R8000 cannot automatically update its time, so any files I create on the R8000 's Readyshare have the wrong data/time.
Is there a way to allow the R8000 to synchronize the date/time either from the WNDR3700v4, or passthrough to the internet?
Both routers are on the latest firmware.

Yeah, that would work. It would be a pain though. It's just sad that Netgear has this issue.
I also can't use the ReadyShare on both routers at the same time either.
