Date & Time Settings
The Router can use Network Time Protocol (NTP) to set system time and date accurately using a public or private NTP server. The function may be disabled if highly accurate time recording is not a priority.

If you wish to use NTP to set system time and date following these steps:
1.Make sure NTP enabled is displayed in the NTP State
2.Type in an NTP server IP address that can be used by the Router. Keep in mind that many NTP servers require permission before they may be used.
