So that the log entries are correctly time-stamped and sent at the correct time, be sure to set the
time as described in the next section.
Setting the Time
The WNDR3700 router uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain the current time and date
from one of several network time servers on the Internet. To localize the time for your log entries,
you must specify your time zone:
•
Time Zone
. Select your local time zone. This setting is used for the blocking schedule and for
time-stamping log entries.
•
Automatically Adjust for Daylight Savings Time
. Select this check box if your region
supports daylight savings time. When this check box is set, the router will adjust the time by
adding one hour during the daylight savings time period. When daylight savings time ends, be
sure to un-check this check box.

Upgrading the Router Firmware
The routing software (also called firmware) of the WNDR3700 router is stored in flash memory,
and can be upgraded as NETGEAR releases new software. Your router can download and install
the new software, or you can download upgrade files from the NETGEAR website and manually
send the upgrade file to the router using your browser.
Tip:
To ensure that you are always using the latest router firmware, enable the Firmware
Upgrade Assistant feature so that the router will automatically detect a new version
of the firmware on the Internet and alert you to its availability.
