Setting the System Time

Setup > Time
page to specify the system time for your network. The
router uses the time settings to time-stamp log events, to automatically apply the
Access Rules and Content Filters, and to perform other activities for other internal
purposes. You can allow the router to receive the local time settings automatically
from a server, or you can enter the local time manually.
