Time and Time Zone
Figure 57 Time and Time Zone screen
The Router keeps time by connecting to a Simple Network Time Protocol
(SNTP) server. This allows the Router to synchronize the system clock to
the Internet. The synchronized clock in the Router is used to record the
security log and control client filtering. Select the time zone that you
reside in. If you reside in an area that observes Daylight Saving, then place
a checkmark in the box next to "Enable Daylight Saving". The system
clock may not update immediately. Allow at least 15 minutes for the
router to contact the time servers on the Internet and get a response. You
cannot set the clock yourself.
You can specify which SNTP servers the Router will use to update it’s
system clock, although doing this should only be necessary if you are
experiencing difficulty.
