You need to assign a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server for each wireless device,
so the log information will contain the accurate time of the status logs.
To set the time automatically:
1 Open AirPort Utility, select your wireless device, and then choose Base Station >
Manual Setup, or double-click the device icon to open its configuration in a separate
window. Enter the password if necessary.
2 Click the AirPort button, and then click Base Station.
3 Select the “Set time automatically” checkbox, and then choose an NTP server from the
pop-up menu if you have access to one on your network or on the Internet.
If you click “Logs and Statistics” you can view and export logs, and view wireless client
and DHCP client information.
If you export the logs, use the Mac OS X Console application, located in the Utilities
folder in the Applications folder on a Mac, or in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a
Windows computer, to view the logs on the computer receiving them.
