You boys got your $hit set right for DST starting tomorrow morning @ 2:00am (in the US)
2nd sunday in March to 1st sunday in November.
Just trying to head off tomorrows posts in regards to: "My time didn't update, what do I do"
My WRT54GS v3 runs on DDWRT v24sp1 is configured as you mentioned above and today its clock still hasn't sprung forward. _________________ Mazi

I just hit "apply settings" on the main setup page without changing anything and the time updated, as well as the router rebooting so uptime is back to zero.
Is there a way to force the update without having the router reboot? A command via the admin page or telnet?
How often does it update itself? Going through the syslog file, it doesn't look like even once a day.
Edit: It does not look link an entry is made in the syslog in regards to contacting the NTP server and checking / updating the time. The most I can find is when traff data is committed to nvram.
No big deal.. Just one of those "have you ever wondered why" things. _________________ [Moderator Deleted]

Mine had not updated either, so I disabled and enabled NTP server, and it was back to being correct.
Barryware's method would have saved me one of two reboots....
Good thing I don't use my router webgui when I need to know the time.....my bridged router can be wrong for a few weeks. Not losing my uptime on that one!
I only need my time correct for time based access restrictions. Can't think of another use for them. Is there one? _________________ Warning: I'm "out of my element!"

Give a sec or 2 between each command. No reboot needed. Uptime will not be lost. _________________ (05/02/17) std - 31924

I'm still running v23 SP2 std on my public facing device, and for the last few years have just accepted that time will be off for a few weeks, but I'm now in a position that time based access restrictions are needed, and want to know if there is a way to update the zone info without flashing to a newer build.
If I have to update so be it, just would rather keep what I have as it's working fine.
(I did search the forums for this, but didn't come up with anything yet.)
