I noticed 1.4.3.88_1.3.50 is available so I will update but still. NTP wasn't broken was it? Can't find any actual release notes for their updates, netgear's "Security" page is super cryptic god only knows what is being rolled out in each individual update.
I have the NTP secton configured currently for Netgear's NTP services now because no external NTP works at all when i try it.
not only that, so lets say its on netgear's NTP servers, and time is synced. Whenever I try syncing to any external NTP provider it ust errors saying it won't work but it also then changes the time to be about -40 minutes off.
Like why wouldn't it keep its last known synced time rather than changing to a random time? its not like it got that other time from anywhere it literally won't connect.
- Oh mine is also working the same way (using Netgear's NTP) but when attempting to change it to "use external ntp" it wont connect ime. Time.nist.gov or time.google.com etc. So its fine right now but not sure why no external NTP will connect i think its a bug in the r8000p or the router GUI
I tried time.nist.gov:
