The system time on my Netgear R7500 Router is not correct and is reading Dec 31st, 1969. I have a static IP set using googles DNS servers, I have attempted reseting the router to the factory image, downgrading then re-upgrading to the latest firmware, several reboots, etc... There is no NTP setting on the router itself so I am pretty much stuck with no way to correct the system time. I am trying to use the VPN on the router it is not working properly and I am betting this likely has to do with the time being off.
use the "date" command to manually set the date and time of router
root@R7500:/etc/config# date -s 2016.09.22-16:00[:00]
Who needs Netgear support when I can have free root access to the box 🙂 I wanted to install NTPD onto the busybox system, but I could not get he package to install. Has anyone else had experience with this?
It is an AT&T (PACE) 5268AC Router/Modem. The R7500 is connected to it like so:
Internet POP (Fiber) > 5286AC WAN Port IN > 5286AC LAN Port OUT > R7500 WAN Port IN
Funny thing is, i have a Netgear R6200 running in AP-Mode for my upstairs connected to the LAN port of the R7500 and it is able to pull the correct system time.
I use a static IP because the field I am in requires that I have one. I switched to Google's DNS for troubleshooting purposes, AT&T DNS works fine. It doesnt matter which DNS I choose the time issue still exists.
They perform a DHCP Reservation for my account. At a later date they will assign a true static IP to my account just as they do with business lines. I can use both static or dynamic on my R7500 and it makes no difference, the time problem still exists, I have tried both ways. I have to use a static IP as well because I want to use the VPN feature of my R7500 and I do not want to use Dynamic DNS.
I feel like having to pay for support to fix somthing that is less than a year old is not good business practice, so I was hoping to find a solution here.
