9.3 Configuring Time Zone and NTP
Tools > Date and Time
You can configure your time zone, whether or not to adjust for Daylight Savings
Time, and with which Network Time Protocol ( NTP) server to syn chronize the date
and time. You can choose to set Date and Time manually, which will store the
information on the router‘s real time clock (RTC). If the router has access to the
internet, the most accurate mechanism to set the router time is to enable NTP server
communication.

Accurate date and time on the router is critical for firewall schedules, Wi -Fi power
saving support to disable APs at certain times of the day, and accurate logging.
Please follow the steps below to configure the NTP server:
1.
Select the router‘s time zone, relative to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
2.
If supported for your region, click to Enable Daylight Savings.
3.
Determine whether to use default or custom Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers. If
custom, enter the server addresses or FQDN.
