Hello All,
I'm a longtime lurker, have and continue to enjoy reading the many posts scattered around this board on various topics. Today, decided it was time to create an account and ask for help of my own.
I am running 2x Asus RT-N66U routers on my network (both routers running the latest version of custom fork 374.43). Both routers can see each other no problem via custom routing. Router #2 is used strictly for VPN purposes and runs fine.
Router #1 is giving me the trouble. Router #1 is the "Main" unit -- the DSL connection feeds into its WAN port using a bridged D-Link DSL-520B to provide the 7Mb service (all I can get in my part of the woods -- cable is not yet an option).
For some reason, I can't get the clock on Router #1 to sync properly. I've tried resetting all connections, factory wiping the unit and reconfiguring. It just never syncs. Router #2 on the other hand, syncs perfectly fine. Both use pool.ntp.org as the NTP link. Keep in mind that Router #2's WAN port connects to a LAN port on Router #1. How is it that it can pick up the time without issue (thank goodness as accurate time is needed for the VPN to even run), and yet Router #1 (with the modem in its WAN port) doesn't adjust at all?
Upon reading around on this forum, I came across many with similar issues over the previous months/years. Results varied....most seem to be resolved. However, I haven't been able to resolve mine.
I am currently attempting to run this script in my JFFS sector: NTP does not work in asuswrt. From the looks of it, the script does execute, however to no positive results. This is what shows up in my log:
Every 6 hours, for 1 hour these lines constantly repeat and the clock never sets. Now, I know I could post this question to the creator of the script, however I do not believe the script is the problem. Even if I try to manually trigger anything with the clock in a Terminal window, I end up with the same "bind/connect" lines and it eventually times out.
Thus, I am of the belief that something else (???) is preventing me from doing so. If Port 123 was blocked, how does Router #2 (which is pretty much a slave to Router #1) acquire the time without issue?
I do apologize for this long message as I've tried to convey my thoughts/experiences as best as possible. I admit I'm nowhere near a pro at this stuff -- simply "learning by doing". I could very well be missing something and may just be staring at it for too long (2 days now). I certainly do thank you all for reading and greatly appreciate any feedback you can provide.
