    It is also used for determining Internet access restrictions (see the section, “Setting Internet Access Time Restrictions”, below). Since the Broadband Router does not contain a backup battery for the real-time clock, the time will not be maintained across system resets or power cycles. Therefore, after a reset or power cycle, the clock will not be correct.
