  • SNBForums Code of Conduct

    SNBForums is a community for everyone, no matter what their level of experience.

    Please be tolerant and patient of others, especially newcomers. We are all here to share and learn!

    The rules are simple: Be patient, be nice, be helpful or be gone!

The system time zone is different from your local setting.

EDIT: See the next post.

no one mentioned how to do it, only to do it.
Are you using a Windows PC? If so, open a Command Prompt and log into the AP as follows:
Code:
Change "admin" to be the AP's login name and "192.168.x.y" to be the IP address of the AP.

Then run the command specified:
Code:
service restart_ntpd

Now log into the AP's web interface and check the log (System Log - General Log).

I expect SSH won’t be enabled on the AP if it’s never been used. Alternatively, change the ntp server name on the Administration/ System page in the GUI and hit apply. For example, change pool.ntp.org to us.pool.ntp.org so it will restart the time service in the background.

Were there any errors reported from this in the AP's log (System Log - General Log)?

From the AP's SSH session can you confirm that ntp is actually running with the following command:
Code:
ps w | grep ntp
and that you can resolve names:
Code:
nslookup pool.ntp.org

EDIT: If the above looks OK try running ntp manually in debug mode:
Code:
/usr/sbin/ntp -d -n -q -p pool.ntp.org

That all looks normal. Can you try the command I added to my previous post. Here it is again:
Code:
/usr/sbin/ntp -d -n -q -p pool.ntp.org

That's very strange.

As per Dave's post, what is the output of:
Code:
netstat -rn

Do you have any kind of IP blocker running on your main router, like Skynet?

P.S. Are you running stock Asus firmware or Merlin's?
 
Sounds like it might be a bug then.

Can you SSH into the AP and post the output of this command:
Code:
netstat -rn

Thanks for that. It does seem to confirm that you're missing the default route.

Can you check whether it has been set correctly in NVRAM using this command:
Code:
nvram get lan_gateway
It should return 192.168.1.1

If you're still using a static IP address on the AP it should look something like this:
Untitled.png
Alternatively, just set it to get the information automatically for both the LAN IP and DNS Server.

You can set the gateway manually using the following command. However, it won't survive a reboot.
Code:
route add default gw 192.168.1.1 br0
