That's what mine says points to that server pool.ntp.I've had this issue. What worked for me was changing back to the default ntp server of pool.ntp.org
Go here: http://router.asus.com/Advanced_System_Content.asp - Double check it is set to that.

Sorry where do I find that and what should it be set at?Also make sure you have valid upstream resolvers in WAN DNS Server 1 and 2.
Hello I did a reboot on my Ac 86u with the latest Merlin and now I have no wifi or lan or internet what so ever . Also my time says May 5th! 2018. Can someone help. My wife works from home and needs the wifi..
question if my IP provider is down would that have a impact on time also? Not saying it's down ATM until I call them. But so far no one in my area have reported the internet being down.The time will remain at some default time until you have an Internet connection for it to update the time.
Are you experienced at configuring a router? If so, then you would look for a new problem with your Internet connection. Otherwise, you would review your router setup.

Yes internet was working the router is an old ACu86 made 2018 and I have 1 gig internet speed. Also bridged from modem. Like I said once I rebooted the router that's when the issues arose.The router gets its time from the Internet. If your Internet connection is not working (for whatever reason), then the router time can not be updated from the default time that installs with the firmware.
Is this a new router install? Was it working before or are you still trying to install it? Why are you using Asuswrt-Merlin firmware?
What type of Internet service do you have? Does it have any status lights?

Yes they show 1 Gbps in the webui. I have rebooted both.Given it was working and is now not working, I would investigate your Internet service... is it down now for some reason... call them; your WAN cabling... something outside or a pet chewed it inside; and the health of the 2018 AC86U... what is the webUI status of its Ethernet ports... all healthy at 1 Gbps? Did you reboot the router to solve the Internet down condition?... if so, then the WAN down condition likely occurred on its own and has nothing to do with rebooting the router.
Is the ISP equipment healthy? Reboot it; then reboot your router.

Ok there alsoSo, the WAN cabling looks ok. How about the webUI Internet Status?
OE
Ok there also
Thanks for all your help I called Rogers and they did a test from there end and they found that the Modem went back to factory mode she reset it to bridge mode and now all working. She did say that two of my antennas in their modem was not working indicating that it is now defective and have to replace it and it may happen again and switch back to factory,So, you "have no wifi or lan or internet what so ever" after doing nothing new to your network, the Internet time server is not accessible, and yet the router reports a healthy Internet/WAN and LAN status(?).
If you can't narrow this down some, consider removing the AC86U and un-bridging the ISP gateway to get back to work.

But I have always been in bridge mode since day 1 and no issues till today. You don't recommend merlin just use Asus firmware?Cool! Well done!
Another reason to avoid bridge mode vs removing the ISP box... it leaves a link in the chain.
