Time Zone
The router does not have a real time clock on board; instead, it uses the Simple Network Time
Protocol (SNTP) to get the most current time from an SNTP server outside your network. Choose
your local time zone from the drop down menu. To apply the selected local time zone, click Enable
and click the Apply button. After a successful connection to the Internet, the router will retrieve
the correct local time from the SNTP server you have specified. If you prefer to specify an SNTP
server other than those in the drop-down list, simply enter its IP address in their appropriate blanks
provided as shown above. Your ISP may also provide an SNTP server for you to use.
Resync Period (in minutes) is the periodic interval the router will wait before it re-synchronizes the
router's time with that of the specified SNTP server. In order to avoid unnecessarily increasing the
load on your specified SNTP server you should keep the poll interval as high as possible – at the
absolute minimum every few hours or even days.
Click Apply to confirm the settings.
