Sounds like the router is not connecting to the time server to tell  the router the correct time and date.

If you ever go to use parent control under Genie  the time and date will be a big issue.

I had never apply any parent control on the router.

May I know which time server is R6220 connecting?

Guess ISP block the Netgear time server. How could I configure the Router to use another time server ?

Thanks.
