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 Zone

The WNR2000v2 router uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain the current time and

date from one of several network time servers on the Internet. Localize the time zone so that your

log entries and other router functions include the correct time stamp.

To verify and set the time zone (see

Figure 3-6 on page 3-8

):

•

Time Zone

. To select your local time zone, use the drop-down list. This setting is used for the

blocking schedule and for time-stamping log entries.

•

Automatically Adjust for Daylight Savings Time

. If your region supports daylight savings

time, select this check box. The router will automatically adjust the time at the start and end of

the daylight savings time period.
