Log showing Wrong date and time
Log messages that are emailed to me are showing wrong date and time for some entries.
Here is a clip:
[FVS336Gv2]Wed Dec 31 19:03:19 1969((GMT-0500)) [FVS336Gv2][Kernel][KERNEL] Creating 3 MTD partitions on "phys_mapped_flash"
I have FVS336V2 firmware 4.3.3-6

Yes I did configure time as per manual and left NTP servers as default time-g.netgear.com. the correct date and time is shown at the bottom of that page. Also in the log, the bottom entries show the correct time. Its just about half way up the wrong date and time is shown for the rest of the entries. its always the same date and time [FVS336Gv2]Wed Dec 31 19:03:23 1969((GMT-0500)) .
Also on other item, I read that the router is suppose to send an email whenever there is a automatic switch from one WAN to another WAN port in the event of one WAN faulure. Althought the WAN ports switch correctly in event of WAN failure in about 3 minutes, I do not receive an email at the time of switch. I do get the log emails once a day as per my entered schedule though. The email at time of switch would be very helpful since it would alert me something is wrong with the WAN conection and I can take immediate action to correct it..
Hi BobC99,
It might be possible that a downtime has occured on the NETGEAR NTP server or the DNS. Go to Monitoring > Firewall Logs & E-mail then click the NTP Logs option arrow in the upper right. Check the NTP Logs.
About the e-mail alert wherein if ever a WAN failure has occurred then it switches to another WAN port, I believe there is no settings to configure an e-mail alert about that. What I am sure is that, the logs will be sent unto your specified e-mail address on the preferred time you've set by schedule. Make sure to have the WAN Status checked on the System Logs. Go to Monitoring > Firewall Logs & E-mail and kindly double-checked it.
