Sharing a fix: router time was May 2018 (not expected Sept 2024).
After trying different ntp servers and command line checks, I saw pings to url weren’t working as expected with Comcast DNS (though okay with Cloudflare DNS) I contacted my ISP (Comcast) who diagnosed my modem needed reprovisioning. After Comcast re-provisioned the modem, then rebooting Merlin FW router all is well with NTP
(I noticed the problem after dirty upgrade to Merlin latest FW and checking the admin pages and system log: it was not caused by Merlin FW or my dirty upgrade: I tested a clean upgrade and the NTP problem duplicated, so then called Comcast)
