DIR-825 won't keep time
« on: November 23, 2009, 05:46:25 PM »
I've had the DIR-825 for a little more than a month now, and this is the only issue I have found that is actually an "ISSUE" for me.  The bloody thing won't keep time.  I have to set the time about once every 3 days... I have tried the NTP servers, I have tried doing it from my system time... nothing works.

My version stuff is below
    Hardware Version: B1       Firmware Version: 2.02NA

Have you tried the selected time server outside of the router?
Sometimes some servers are not available without a lot of hops.  I use the same times server as I use for my OS clock.  I use windows XP and run ntp.cs.mu.OZ.AU as the server.  The beauty of using the same server is that I can hit UPDATE now and verify that the server is up and usable.
Hope that helps

What I did to get it to keep time was first manually set the date and click copy computer time settings then immediately click save.

Then check the ‘Enable NTP Server’

and I selected ntp1.dlink.com

Then click save again.

And the time has been exact on mine.

I have found this one to be very responsive and available.

I have found that for personal use, pool.ntp.org works very well.

If you are running a business, then setting up NTP on 1 or 2 servers and then using TRUE stratum 1 or 2 time servers close to you will help keep very accurate time.

NTP is a cool little challenge if you want to have super accurate time with redundancies built in.
