Originally set to the default Netgear NTP. I had tried to set the NTP to nz.pool.ntp.org today for testing, same results.
Rebooted when the time was 12:01pm.
Yet under the router logs: [Time synchronized with NTP server] Thursday, Sep 29,2022 11:01:32
All of the router log being off by an hour.
Screenshot shows time as 3:39pm, when it's currently 4:39pm.
I'm assuming that NTP servers don't do the daylight saving itself, it would just be the router setting adjusting it for the log files, etc? It won't affect anything on the Internet or within the Network itself, right since it's using UTC?
There is definitely something odd going on with Guest Networks with this firmware.
I don't use Guest Network and never have. But I noticed that following a reboot, the Orbi's Guest Network would show up on the list of available networks for 5-10 minutes before disabling itself again.
Then I had an internet outage that lasted an hour or so. For some reason this caused the Orbi (in AP mode) to turn on the Guest Network and this time it didn't turn off. The only way to disable it was to go into the Guest Network section of the control panel and re-apply the settings which disabled it again.
The worst thing about all of this is that it uses whatever details you have set up for the Guest Network in the control panel - which, if you've never used it, defaults to an unsecured network. I've now changed this to secured but it's not a great situation with regard to security for those that don't use this feature.
Ya, we've seen this behavior in this version of FW. We've passed it on to NG.
