Problems with Date and Time

current time from one of several network time servers on the Internet. Each entry in the log is
stamped with the date and time of day. When the date shown is January 1, 2000, the wireless
controller has not yet successfully reached a network time server. Verify that the wireless
controller can reach the Internet. If you have just completed configuring the wireless
controller, wait at least 5 minutes and check the date and time again.
