Going to recommend that you phone contact your regional D-Link support office and inquire about this. I'm wondering if either there is a problem with the DAP or the NTP services. Ask for level 2 or higher support.

Let us know how it goes.

Have you checked your DNS+gateway settings for the DAP-2690? If the DNS doesn't work, it won't be able to resolve any NTP server - thus no updates...

I realize this is an old thread, but I just came upon this issue yesterday. I believe this issue is a firmware limitation. (Crazy, I know.) No matter what option I use to update the date, I usually end up with 2002 or 2012. If you try to use the Manual option, you'll see that the highest year you can choose is 2012! Poor programming to say the least. I have a call into D-Link, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Link>Welcome!

• What Hardware version is your router? Look at sticker under router.
• Link>What Firmware version is currently loaded? Found on the routers web page under status.
• What region are you located?
• Was a Factory Reset performed before and after any firmware updates?

Please refer to this for doing FW updates:

Please review this as well for the Year bug:

I just found an answer (at least for me) in another thread. The NTP server feature will work as long as the NTP server is on the LAN. I made my Windows 2008 server an NTP server by following these directions:

Open Regedit:

Back up the HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\W32time key. (Just in case!)

Modify these register entries:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\W32time\Config\AnnounceFlags= 1

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\W32time\Parameters\NtpServer = time.windows.com (This will allow the NTP Server to synchronize with time.windows.com, if you don't need that you can let it empty)

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\W32time\Parameters\Type = NTP (This is optional and should be enabled if you want your NTP server synchronize with another NTP server)

No need to reboot. There are other options out there for a local NTP server as well. When I pointed my WAP-2553 at my local NTP server, the date corrected itself.

Awesome info...
I'm curious, are you using Windows 2008 as your main host router or is there an other HW router in the line? If so, does using the HW routers DMZ help if you put the DAPs IP address in the DMZ?

Thank you for sharing. I wonder if this would work with other Windows versions?

Does your model AP allow the use of an numerical IP address for the NTP server?
