Title: Daylight savings not working on 2.03NA/2.07NA
Post by: rayxi on July 23, 2012, 09:29:39 PM

I can't seem to get the router to adjust for DST for Mountain Time. Enable Daylight Saving is checked. Time zone is (GMT-07:00) Mountain Time (US/Canada). Daylight Saving Offset is +1:00

Things I've tried that don't work:
1) Unchecking Enable Daylight Saving. Save/reboot. Check Enable Daylight Saving again. Save/reboot. No difference for Mountain Time but makes a difference for Pacific time. See item 5 below.
2) Adjusting the offest to +2:00. Save/reboot. No difference in time so it is completely ignoring this setting.
3) Factory reset. Only settings configured after the reset are the time settings.
4) Tried 3 different NTP servers. Not surprising this has no effect as the time zone and DST information is not part of the protocol.
5) Change time zone to Pacific. Save/reboot. Has correct Pacific time adjusted for DST. Uncheck Enable Daylight Saving. Save/reboot. Correct Pacific time without DST. Change back to Mountain Time and Enable Daylight Saving. Save/reboot. Time is 1 hour behind what it should be for Mountain.
6) Change time zone to Central. Save/reboot. Has correct Central time adjusted for DST. Change back to Mountain Time. Save/reboot. Time is 1 hour behind what it should be for Mountain.

So it seems DST is not working just for Mountain Time. Strange.

FYI. Similar thread I found on version 2.03NA with no resolution.

I see the same thing, I have set the Time Zone for Central then it seems to pick up correctly.

I use the NTP server as well.

I'll pass this alone and see if we can get some help. At least they will know about it.

Thanks FN.

I wonder if the router is mistakenly lumping Mountain Time in with Arizona MST which does not observe DST. It kind of makes sense to ignore the Enable Daylight Saving setting if Arizona is selected as the timezone.

Possible. I think there is a bug as I don't see this with other routers. I'll have to check again to be sure. I have advised DLink of this.  ;)

Looks like 2.10NA didn't fix this problem.  :(
