NTP question
« on: February 01, 2013, 05:29:41 PM »

Hi,

I have a DGN2200 and wondering how I can get the Date and Time set on the router. The router has 'Readyshare' which works fine apart from the fact that all the JPG files stored on the USB stick seem to have the same date/time as the router. In the router there is an option to select time zone and adjust daylight saving but that is all - nothing to select NTP server.

Setup is as follows :-
Billion 7700n connected to the phone line and Homeplug attached.
DGN2200 connected to Homeplug in office (no phone line attached). DHCP disabled.

everything else works fine.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

John

The DGN2200 has a BCM 6358 chipset.  Most of the Broadcom chipsets use similar commands so you may well be able to use the SNTP command via the CLI
