Hi:
My router is giving me incorrect GMT/UTC time, and I need help with what is going on here:
I have the following setup:
Router: ASUS RT-N16
Firmware: DD-WRT v24-sp2(12/20/11)mega - build 18024
System Clock set to use: NPT; Time Zone = UTC-04:00; Server IP/Name: 3.north-america.pool.ntp.org
Optware the Right Way Installed: Yes
Problem:
When I run both of these Linux commands I get the same time being reported when there should be a difference of 4 hours.
# date ==> Tue Apr 24 09:51:41 UTC 2012
# date --utc ==> Tue Apr 24 09:51:41 UTC 2012
When I run these same commands on my Linux desktop, I get the correct results (a difference of 4 hours).
DD-WRT time settings can be problematic. You could use plain UTC (with no daylight savings), and then the problem would be over. _________________ 2 times APU2 Opnsense 21.1 with Sensei
2 times RT-AC56U running DD-WRT 45493 (one as Gateway, the other as AP, both bridged with LAN cable)
3 times Asus RT-N16 shelved
E4200 V1 running freshtomato 2020.8 (bridged with LAN cable)
3 times Linksys WRT610N V2 converted to E3000 and 1 original E3000 running freshtomato 2020.8 (bridged with LAN cable)

I had the same issue, I just used the time location list to match the a country\location so the time was close\similar to my actual time (though still out by 40min). Then saved and rebooted. Then I when back into basic settings and change the time settings to the correct location match...Wallla all fixed, time is synced correctly

dd-wrt doesn't have the timezone list containing cities and timezone abbrevation, this due to space limitations.
A timestamp is incomplete without the timezone info, dd-wrt can do the subtraction or addition but displays everything as UTC.
Could you just copy the timezone file from a standard Linux distribution (Ubuntu, Fedora, or whatever ...) into DD-WRT and setup the timezone manually?
