R8000 Date and Time incorrect
Firmware Version
V1.0.3.36_1.1.25
Just cannot get this router to set the correct date and time from the internet, which makes the scheduling function useless. Tried all the other suggestions mentioned on the forums like setting NAT to open and resetting to factory, nothing works. Am using OpenDNS for family settings, but I tried a number of other DNS providers just in case. Nothing works.
Hi mmmix,
Have you tried this firmware?

Reset it after the update.

What modem and isp are you using ATT and the netgear router not setting the correct time and date have been posted before?
It's Comcast with an Xfinity modem TG862G set in bridge mode
It should be able to go out on the web and pull the time and date in for the router use.
If you keep the WNDR as the main host router and want to use the R8000 behind it, be sure to use the DMZ on the WNDR for the IP address it gives the R8000. However I recommend swapping around routers like William mentioned.
