NTP not sync in RT68U

[The Tinkerer]

I solved the problem.

It was a firmware issue.

The fix was to do a factory reset, then, manually re-enter all settings. (DO NOT upload a saved configuration file.) I took screenshots of everything that had anything different from defaults, but this was still time consuming and a PITA. But it fixed both the "disconnected" problem, and also the NTP problem.

Factory reset fixed it?

I could have told you that!

Glad you've got your router in a good/known state again.

Wow. An argument could be made for blocking customer NTP servers but never NTP clients.

I can't see where ATT would block NTP client - server, yes...

Too many OS's use NTP client to keep time up to date...

The Asus router does function fine with the wrong date. But it's not ideal.

It should, but some scripts and external services might have problems with time being out of sync by an hour...
