Problems with Date and Time
Under Security in the main menu, select Schedule to view the current date and time of day. The 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 the following:
•Date shown is January 1, 2000.
Cause: The modem router has not yet successfully reached a Network Time Server. Check that your Internet access is configured correctly. If you have just completed configuring the modem router, wait at least 5 minutes, and check the date and time again.
•Time is off by one hour.
Cause: The modem router does not automatically adjust for daylight savings time. In the Schedule screen, select the Adjust for Daylight Savings Time check box.
