few reasons..
-you dont have a DNS when NTP is called...so one more reason to use the numerical form, IP instead of name value...
-your NTP time server is not working or using different port
-your ISP is blocking NTP requests or something is firewall-ing them
-your NTP server is down for some reason...
use either google or cloudflare NTP time servers IP's _________________ Atheros

If you do not have DNS when NTP is trying to resolve because you are using secure DNS e.g. SmartDNS, Unbound etc then in the DNSMasq additional options add:
One minor thing I noticed the Server/IP name shows: Error
The nvram variable (ntp_server) is empty so the field should be showing the placeholder: "2.pool.ntp.org 1.pool.ntp.org 3.pool.ntp.org 4.pool.ntp.org"
I did clear browser cache and tried different browsers, and if I set a value in the field e.g. 2.pool.ntp.org it shows in the field and time is working, so it is something with the placeholder
I am also running build 50731 which shows the placeholder, so either something broke between those builds or I need to reset my router

You basically need only to add servers in smartdns box, disable dnsmasq dnssec options + disable query in strict order too....
and you are good to go.... look my steps in my post above...
to manchesterblack you can use as many servers you'd like i have 7 but same a DNScrypt, SmartDNS is using only the fastest one......
do notice it goes inside the VPN channel, so its cool...to use is with VPN
Alozaros - I use the smart dns servers below. Can you please add me more by sending me how they should be so I just copy and paste the into the smart dns box please? I do not know how to create the servers and I got help from you I believe way back just to add the ones below. Cheers.

Any idea why the server entry for the NTP client doesn't work?
Also having issues with smb being slow to open connection in kodi now, which seems to be the more recent builds.

-your ISP is blocking NTP requests or something is firewall-ing them

use either google or cloudflare NTP time servers IP's
I am not sure you understood what I said, I do have dns problems but its that inspite of entering ip addresses or anything in the NTP server field it still uses the defaults.
If you do not have DNS when NTP is trying to resolve because you are using secure DNS e.g. SmartDNS, Unbound etc then in the DNSMasq additional options add:
Code:
server=/pool.ntp.org/9.9.9.9
I use that, it's that I also can't change the NTP servers at all, nothing I put in the server field for the NTP Client of the web gui changes anything
One minor thing I noticed the Server/IP name shows: Error
The nvram variable (ntp_server) is empty so the field should be showing the placeholder: "2.pool.ntp.org 1.pool.ntp.org 3.pool.ntp.org 4.pool.ntp.org"
I did clear browser cache and tried different browsers, and if I set a value in the field e.g. 2.pool.ntp.org it shows in the field and time is working, so it is something with the placeholder
I am also running build 50731 which shows the placeholder, so either something broke between those builds or I need to reset my router
I am wonder if it is related too anyway I will move to the next build.

if GUI save apply buttons are funny or your browser makes some buggy stuff than you can try to change
the NTP servers value via CLI (SSh) its simple if this doesn't work than its a firmware issue, witch i doubt...
my R7000 has no problems with NTP servers in numerical format (IP)... and i can change zones and this is what it needs...
for me...R7000 is working....reset, manually rebuild and ect. try last build 50814...
egc advise its also working...
last thing in my mind, may be your ISP is capping NTP requests and fetching their NTP time server...
as they do the same with plain DNS over port 53 sometimes... _________________ Atheros

Stubby DNS over TLS I DNSCrypt v2 by mac913
I have already updated to the next firmware and am discussing this in that thread too. I tried different combos of save apply and restart, none work. Thing is the nvram ram is being updated but the ntp client is not using the new setting. Next I will try resetup, I will try changing the nvram setting early to make sure it works as it must be something else affecting it.
but same a DNScrypt, SmartDNS is using only the fastest one......
