Reference Manual for the ADSL Modem Router DG834 v3

Problems with Date and Time

The E-mail menu in the Content Filtering section displays the current date and time of day. The DG834 ADSL Modem 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 uncheck the box marked “Adjust for Daylight Savings Time”.
