Note
Changing the date and time on the router does not affect the date
and time on your PCs.
There is no real time clock inside the router; however, the correct date and time can be obtained from external
time servers. You may configure up to 5 time servers. Note that SNTP service must be enabled in the System
Services configuration page for the router to access external time servers.
