As RMerlin says, the timezone code is 5 years old.
I found this solution that works every reboot.
You have to edit a script in /jffs (I used post-mount) and add the following
And of course, you have to mantain the wrong setting of GMT -4:00 so the router will get at least the year, day... and the 30 min biased time. After that, this code will substract 30 minutes from current time and reset the time once the router has rebooted.
It worked for me.
Thanks RMerlin for the support in this!
UPDATE:
That fix wont survive if you are changing things on the router... it will get the wrong time again at some point. I have changed that for the following code in post-mount:
Where the file TZ contains only this text: GMT4:30
I will attach the file here for your pleasure. You have to unzip it... and put the file in the asusware folder of your usb drive for that code to work... or anywhere else, changing the cp code accordly
Update:
That worked fine in optware, but if you happen to be in entware, it wont.
The reason might be that after you patch TZ file, the router does its time sync stuff and overwrites again the original and wrong TZ in /tmp/etc.
I removed the line from post-mount and added to some script in init.d... the only one that I have so far: S81aria. I know that is not related to aria, but I was trying. At first it didn't work... I ended up putting a sleep 60 before the cp line, and after the reboot it worked.

Code:
timehh=`date -u '+%H'`
timemm=`date -u '+%M'`
curr_time="$timehh:$timemm"
timemm=`expr $timemm - 30`
new_time="$timehh:$timemm"
date -u $new_timeAnd of course, you have to mantain the wrong setting of GMT -4:00 so the router will get at least the year, day... and the 30 min biased time. After that, this code will substract 30 minutes from current time and reset the time once the router has rebooted.
