Incorrect Time - WAC104 Access Point thinks its 1970

Could use some help.  I'm using a WAC104 Access Point which is hardwired to my Modem/Router (Verizon LTE Home Router).  I was able to do all the set-up etc. and seems to be doing what its suppose to with the exception that when I first turned it on yesterday it thought it was 31 Dec 1969, This didn't correct itself overnight and now accordingly it things its 1 Jan 1970.  I have seen posts with other fixes/work arounds for Routers but as an AP I seem to have much fewer settings, etc. to adjust.  Any help would be appreciated.

   Not a very detailed desription of anything, done or not done.

 

> [...] Any help would be appreciated.

 

   Here's a radical concept which works for some people:

 

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTFM

 

   Visit http://netgear.com/support , put in your model number, and look
for Documentation.  Get the User Manual.  Read.  Look for "Set the Time
Zone and Adjust the Daylight Saving Time".  The gizmo would need to have
a route/gateway to the Internet if it's to communicate with an NTP
server.
