NTP date not updating

Upgraded to 6.9.1 firmware on a ReadyNAS 314. "Synchronize clock with an internet server" is checked and two NTP servers are entered correctly (time-a.netgear.com and time-e.netgear.com). Clicking on "Apply" does not update the system time. From the command line:
ntpdate time-a.netgear.com
updates the clock correctly, but the time then drifts off gradually. Did the latest firmware upgrade shaft the NTP updating?

Rebooting the NAS does not cure the problem. However, placing
#!/bin/bash
ntpdate time-a.netgear.com
into /etc/cron.daily as an executable file synchs the time once a day with time-a.netgear.com. Not as elegant as doing it through the GUI, but works.

Re: NTP date not updating
Hi @JanHruska!
I have our ReadyNAS sync time with NTP and displays time correctly.
Have you tried rebooting your NAS? Adding your router and google DNS (8.8.8.8) under DNS server list? Or perhaps try to use one NTP server at a time. Hope this can help.
Regards

Re: NTP date not updating
It should work right from the GUI, Network settings already changed right?
Is the System time on your router updated? How about using a different ntp server? 0.pool.ntp.org
Hope this gets it updated.

Re: NTP date not updating
Thanks for the suggestions, Mark. I have tried specifying various NTP servers in the GUI without success. The point is that it all worked fine until the ugrade to 6.9.1. Anyhow, the above workaround using ntpdate works just fine.
