R8000 Current Date/Time is incorrect

The date/time on my router is wrong and shows up as 03 Jan 2015. I have set the timezone correctly (GMT +5:30) and currently running firmware version V1.0.3.4_1.1.2. I have read and tried most of the tips from this forum, but nothing has helped. I have reset the router (factory defaults) and reconfigured it but no luck. I checked my logs as well and there seems to be no entry associated with the router synchronizing with a NTP server (i don't recall any setting for NTP either).

 

Can someone help me figure out how to solve this?

Re: R8000 Current Date/Time is incorrect

Hi,

 

I finally found what was happening. My son plays the Game Overwatch from Blizzard, When the game tried to do an update, for some reason, the router would reboot every time and reset the date/time.

 

I researched the topic and found that other people had the very same issue. The resolution was to change the "NAT Filtering" from "Secured" to "Open".
The router has not rebooted since and Overwatch updated 4 times so far.

 

Thanks.

Check router's DNS addresses in internet setup

It is set to get the DNS automatically from the ISP. I am able to browse the net without any issues; just that the date is not getting synced properly.

Search this site, others have had same issue and found that the DNS was the problem. Or at least changing DNS was a work around until a FW fix.

Thanks a lot for your help. I tried with 8.8.8.8 (Google DNS) but that didn't work either. Will wait for a FW fix then but this really is a bummer.

Hi mboire,

 

Reset the router and reconfigure. Check the timezone after. Report back if still the same.
