So that the log entries are correctly time-stamped and sent at the correct time, be sure to set the time as described in the next section.

Setting the Time

The wireless router uses Network Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain the current time and date from one of several network time servers on the Internet. To localize the time for your log entries, you must specify your time zone from the E-mail screen:

•Time Zone. Select your local time zone. This setting is used for the blocking schedule and for time-stamping log entries.

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