Edit Date and Time

Use this area to set the date and time manually. You can choose the month and the
year from the drop-down lists, and choose the day of the month in the calendar.
The fields in the Time area require values in 24-hour format. You can select your
time zone based on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), or you can browse the list for
major cities in your time zone.
If you want the router to adjust time settings for daylight saving time and Standard
time, check Automatically adjust clock for daylight savings changes.

Apply

Click to apply the date and time settings you have made in the Date, Time, and

NTP
Network Time Protocol (NTP) allows routers on your network to synchronize
their time settings with an NTP server. A group of NTP clients that obtains time
and date information from a single source will have more consistent time settings.
This window allows you to view the NTP server information that has been
configured, to add new information, or to edit or delete existing information.
Note If your router does not support NTP commands, this branch will not appear in t he
Router Properties tree.
