Problems With Date And Time - NETGEAR RangeMax WPN824 Reference Manual

Reference Manual for the RangeMax Wireless Router WPN824

Problems with Date and Time

The E-mail menu in the Content Filtering section displays the current date and time of day. The
WPN824 router uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain the 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. Problems with the date and time function can include:
• Date shown is January 1, 2000. Cause: the router has not yet successfully reached a Network
Time Server. Check that your Internet access settings are configured correctly. If you have just
completed configuring the router, wait at least five minutes and check the date and time again.
• Time is off by one hour. Cause: the router does not automatically sense Daylight Savings
Time. In the E-mail menu, check or clear the box marked "Adjust for Daylight Savings Time".
