I am also having this time issue.  I have XP with a Dir 655, two DWA 130, and one DWA 542 for all the connections.  Version is 1.11.  I sync it with my computer time and the next time i check the time it is wrong.  I have my service with Windstream and use a speedstream 4200 modem.  Any suggestions?

Use a NTP server.

My ISP is DSLNorthwest  (http://dslnorthwest.net/)
My modem is an Actiontec M1000 in bridge mode.

Hi midhenry,

If you are using the modem in bridge mode, you must be using the Router to sign into your DSL Account in order to obtain the outside IP Address that the Router needs.

Have you SETUP the Router, manually or using its Wizard?

Have you entered the correct DNS Servers?

I also have an issue with the DIR-655 not keeping time. As I already have a ticket in for another issue, I have noticed that when my wireless it disabled (or turned off) the DIR-655 appears to keep time without an issue. But when the wireless is enabled (turned on) then it cannot keep time, or falls behind. Of course mine appears to want to reboot whenever it wants for about 30 minutes, our unless I remove power from the system.
I have the A2 ver and have updated the firmware to the current firmware (not willing to lose my router if something else goes wrong with it or I install the Beta firmware and it crashes).

Well, that is entirely consistent with the DIR-655 NTP request failing, which is just what I see in my log.  The 655 will reboot if you electromagnetically sneeze within 50 yds of it, at which time it will attempt to re-establish the time (it has no internal clock), which means it gets it from an NTP server, or it reloads whatever last notion of time of day it had at reboot minus the time it takes to do the reboot.

It kinda sounds like the unit is defective. Other then the time issue, does the router operate normally?

What's normal?  I got rid of my 2.4GHz phone (that was 30 ft from the 655) and now the 655 doesn't reboot every other time we answer the phone.  I updated the wireless adapters in our two XP laptops and they now no longer get deauthentication disconnects.  I installed a LinksysG wireless access point for the MAC laptop because I couldn't update its wireless driver, and now it is working fine (no more deauthentication disconnects)

But yeah, I connect, browse, etc.  All fine.  Speed is fine.
Again, I can successfully ping any given NTP server ( I am doing the ping from my laptop through the 655 router) So, obviously I can successfully address the NTP server.
Again, my ISP is dslnorthwest.net, my modem is an Actontec 100 in bridge mode (the Actontec 100 is a modem/WAP/router, hub combo)

What is the NTP server that you are trying to use?

What is the NTP server that you are trying to use?

You know Lycan, you've asked me this question before, but for the third time in this thread:

The NTP server info is in my original post.
The server is ntp1.dlink.com.
I selected it from the drop down list on the  time menu on the DLink router configuration page.
And, yes, I can ping ntp1.dlink.com from a DOS box.

And, I have tried other NTP servers (which ones I don't remember...) after verifying they were pingable.

My bad. I couldn't find it.
I'd look at replacement. Also ask that your outbound unit be tested for that perticular problem.
