Gargoyle 1.8.1 on WR1043ND
I have had several times recently when there has been a power cut, the router time has not updated correctly, so the various time-based restrictions don't work properly.
I'm always told fairly quickly by the kids that it's wrong. Doing a reboot sorts it, but I would have though that the router should be able to pick up the correct time when it first connects?
The time settings don't show any box to change the frequency of NTP updates, so it's not possible to fix by increasing the check frequency.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
John

As long as sysntpd is running, the clock will auto sync anywhere between once a 1-60 minutes.

After an unclean reboot it may not have restarted the service correctly.

It should, and normally it will check the time regularly afterwards, but I could imagine Gargoyle coming back up faster than your internet connection, so it will have no chance to read the time with the first try.

Easiest way to avoid it is supplying the router with an UPS.

If you are still on 1.8.1 try upgrading if you can 1.8.1 was the build with the most bugs IMO!
