NTP alternative setting in AC66 and 68U

Things id still like to see in Asus routers

Option for 2 NTP server entries.. a primary and a backup NTP address.. Time servers do go down... and perhaps an option to round robin the primary and alternate address...(also id like to see the offset between the two but thats optional) (Tend to use a local NTP server that occasionally goes down and like the router to get the time even when this occurs)

Export of site survey results to a CSV file...

Still confused on how DNS settings and dual wan work.... Also manually setting the DNS for a PPPoe is hidden when automatic is enabled... Id like to be able to enter values and leave them there if I decide to go back to automatic DNS... (say switch between using something like a filtering DNS and regular DNS)

Did you try listing multiple NTPs with comma/s? I'm not in front of my router now but almost certain it worked on my N66. OSX & Win allow you to list multiply entries separated with commas and will round robin it as well.

Edit, here's a screenshot from my N66 w/ 3.0.0.4.374.32 MW, with multiple (comma spaced) NTP entries.



& OSX 10.9 (it's also possible in other OSes, this is just an example)
