Setting the Time Zone

The WNR2000 router uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain the current time and date from one of several network time servers on the Internet. Localize the time zone so that your log entries and other router functions include the correct time stamp.

To verify and set the time zone (see Figure 3-6 on page 3-8):

•Time Zone. To select your local time zone, use the drop-down list. This setting is used for the blocking schedule and for time-stamping log entries.

•Automatically Adjust for Daylight Savings Time. If your region supports daylight savings time, select this check box . The router will automatically adjust the time at the start and end of the daylight savings time period.
