R6700v2 - update ntp server to MY OWN Stratum2

Can I set the NTP server to my own, like I did with DNS?

I don't see the option.

Running in AP mode, connected to one of my VMs on the lan, complete with natting, firewall, mail server, dns server, webserver, fail2ban, list is long!

Not to fond of this thing "phoning" home for the time (which is actually unnecessary in my case - no schedules etc, no reason this thing even needs the time of day).

Hope I didn't offend.

    Thanks JamesGL,

     

    Guess the only option is to set a DNS entry in Bind.

     

    Thanks!

    Hi R6700v2nOOb,

     

    There is no feature on the router to change the NTP server.
