It should work right from the GUI, Network settings already changed right?

 

Is the System time on your router updated? How about using a different ntp server? 0.pool.ntp.org

 

Hope this gets it updated.

Thanks for the suggestions, Mark. I have tried specifying various NTP servers in the GUI without success. The point is that it all worked fine until the ugrade to 6.9.1. Anyhow, the above workaround using ntpdate works just fine.
