I was looking at my router device info and I noticed that the time and date is not shown correctly.  The date is 2004.  Everything else on my network shows the correct time and date.  I can't seem to find a setting to allow me to change it though.  Anyone know how?

Go under:

Tools --> Time.

That's where you can set the time.  I have mine set for Automatic Time Configuration

 I recommend using and NTP server like time.nist.gov

Thanks, I can't believe I missed that.

Yea, I tried that, it did not work.  I had to copy the time from my PC to make it show the time properly.  It might have something to do with the firewall setting in my dsl router/modem.

Eww

I use ntp1.dlink.com with no issues.  Have you tried that one?

Sometimes it can take some time to set NTP correctly, and sometimes it needs to be within a certain range before it will actually work (also a reboot normally will force a update/query).

I've found that the dlink NTP service a bit buggy, especially on the dir-685.  However, the 4500 seems mostly stable.  I my personal favorite for NTP services is pool.ntp.org.  I use this both professionally and personally as it has a "pool" of ntp servers so if one goes down or are not reachable, the others will respond.  Generally there are 3 servers listed.

Cant get any better time servers than time.nist.gov.

Agreed, time is perfect since you added this to my router settings!

Good info, thanks for sharing. Just fyi, nist does have other servers to use besides the main one.
