Manually Setting Time on R7000

I recently changed ISPs and now my router time keeps getting reset to a date/time that is years off. I have done some reading on this and it sounds like my new ISP does not support NTP(?) or whatever it needs to be able to set the time. I am looking for a way to set the time manually. I am using the router time to set a schedule for my kid's internet access so if I can't do this, I'm off to buy another router that will support this. Thanks.

Not in stock software... But.. What ISP modem are you using? Is it a modem only, or a router / modem combo? If it's a combo, bridge it, and see if that fixes your problem..
EDIT: Not sure what version of firmware you are running, but this version fixes an NTP issue: https://kb.netgear.com/30955/R7000-Firmware-Version-1-0-7-2
When you upgrade the router's firmware, reset the router to factory default and reconfigure..

Re: Manually Setting Time on R7000
So I pressed the reset button on the back of the router for 10 secs and it rebooted. I figured I'd have to reset everything but all my settings were still there so I'm not sure if the reset actually worked or not. That aside, I set the timezone and the time has been accurate for the last 2 days. I'll keep an eye on it for the next week and post again if the time hasn't changed. Thanks for the reply.

Re: Manually Setting Time on R7000
After a couple of weeks, the time has remained correct on my router.
