Title: Using NTP server but time not correct after power-cycle
Post by: bbear on November 27, 2011, 11:46:00 AM

I have access controls setup on my DIR-825 which work fine until there is a power outage and my router comes back up.

I am using Automatic Time Configuration and have the NTP server set to ntp1.dlink.com

When the router comes back up I checked to make sure the NTP server option is still enabled, and it is, however the current time is totally wrong.

To fix this I had to go to the pull-down, select 'ntp1.dlink.com' and then save the settings. After this the time is correct again.

This is as bad as not having the Automatic Time Configuration option at all, since I can't guarantee that the power won't go out. I do not have a UPS hooked up to back up the router, nor do I see why I should need one if the Automatic Time Configuration actually worked.

Does anyone know if there is a way of making the Automatic Time Configuration reliable so the time on my router is automatically corrected when the power comes back up?

I am using firmware 2.05NA

thanks

Try using time.nist.gov and don't check the DST box.

thanks for your help.

I am not sure how long to leave the router powered off to do a meaningful test but I left it off for 10 mins and then powered it back on. The time came up correct.
