Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to get the current time from an SNTP server

outside your network. Choose your local time zone. After a successful connection

to the Internet, the router will retrieve the correct local time from the SNTP server

you have specified. If you prefer to specify an SNTP server other than those in

the drop-down list, simply enter its IP address as shown above. Your ISP may

provide an SNTP server for you to use.

Time Server:

Use Time Server when Bootup: Select the time service protocol that your time

server sends when you turn on the Router. Not all time servers support all

protocols, so you may have to check with your ISP/network administrator or use

trial and error to find a protocol that works. The main difference between them is

the format.

Daytime (RFC 867) format is day/month/year/time zone of the server.

Time (RFC 868) format displays a 4-byte integer giving the total number of

seconds since 1970/1/1 at 0:0:0.

The default, NTP (RFC 1305), is similar to Time (RFC 868).

Select None to enter the time and date manually.
