The Time page displays and allows configuration of various time, time zone and NTP (Network Time Protocol) settings.

Router Time: displays the router's current date, time and time zone, expressed as offset from UTC (Universal Time Coordinated) standard.

Time Zone: allows you to select in which time zone your FreshTomato hardware resides.

Auto Daylight Savings Time

• Enabled: * FreshTomato automatically adjusts the time/date to reflect DST.
• Disabled: FreshTomato uses Standard time settings.

Auto Update Time: This chooses if/how to automatically update system time via synchronization with an NTP server.

• Never - FreshTomato doesn't synchronize its clock time/date with
  an NTP Time Server. NTP server names/addresses can still be configured,
  they just won't be used if Never is selected.
• Only at Startup - FreshTomato synchronizes time with one of the
  configured NTP servers each time it boots, but not again afterwards.
  If you need synchronization more often, or you have very long uptimes,
  you may want to choose the Auto Interval option.
• Auto Interval - forces FreshTomato to synchronize time with a
  configured NTP server at a preset interval.

NTP Time Server: Here, choosing the country/continent where your device resides causes FreshTomato to automatically configure appropriate default time server addresses. If you select Custom, 3 other fields appear in which you manually enter the domain or IP addresses of 3 valid NTP servers. Note that selecting a geographical area will still retain the NTP server addresses entered into the Custom fields, in case you later select the Custom option. You can find NTP servers to use here: Public Time Server Lists from ntp.org along with in-depth documentation.

Enable local NTP server: Checking this enables FreshTomato's local NTP server, so that client devices on the LAN can synchronize time/date directly with the router/AP. This option is only available if Auto Update Time option is set to Auto interval.

• Intercept NTP client requests: Enabling this makes FreshTomato intercept
  NTP client requests to the WAN, so its own NTP server provides synchronization.
