There are five items within the System section:

Time Zone

The router does not have a real time clock on board; instead, it uses the Simple Network Time 

Protocol (SNTP) to get the most current time from an SNTP server outside your network. Choose 

your local time zone from the drop down menu. To apply the selected local time zone, click Enable 

and click the Apply button. After a successful connection to the Internet, the router will retrieve 

the correct local time from the SNTP server you have specified. If you prefer to specify an SNTP 

server other than those in the drop-down list, simply enter its IP address in their appropriate blanks 
provided as shown above. Your ISP may also provide an SNTP server for you to use.

Firmware Upgrade

Your router’s “firmware” is the software that allows it to operate and provides all its functionality. 

Think of your router as a dedicated computer, and the firmware as the software that runs in your 

router. Thus, by upgrading the newly improved version of the firmware allows you the advantage to 

use newly integrated features.

Click on Browse to select the new firmware image file you have downloaded to your PC. Once the 
correct file is selected, click Upgrade to update the firmware to your router.
