System
There are five items within the System section: Time Zone, Firmware Upgrade, Backup/
Restore, Restart and User Management.
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
provided as shown above. Your ISP may also provide an SNTP server for you to use.
Firmware Upgrade
Your router’s “firmware” is the software that allows it to operate and provides all its functionality. Think of your router as a dedicated computer, and the firmware as the software that runs in your router. Thus, by upgrading the newly improved version of the firmware allows you the advantage to use newly integrated features.
Click on Browse to select the new firmware image file you have downloaded to your PC. Once the
correct file is selected, click Upgrade to update the firmware to your router.
