Time Zone

The router does not have a real time clock on board; instead, it uses the Simple Network

Time Protocol (SNTP) to get the current time from an SNTP server outside your network.

Choose your local time zone, click Enable and click the Apply button. After a successful

connection to the Internet, the router retrieves 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.

Resync Period (in minutes) is the periodic interval the router waits before it resynchronizes
the router‟s time with that of the specified SNTP server. To avoid unnecessarily increasing

the load on your specified SNTP server you should keep the poll interval as high as

possible

– at the absolute minimum every few hours or even days.
