ntpMerlin ntpMerlin - NTP Daemon for AsusWRT Merlin

[Jack Yaz]

FWIW this issue is completely irrelevant to ntpMerlin. The built-in NTP client isn't syncing, which must complete before ntpMerlin comes into play.

Sometimes the NTP will sync up but most times it will not

Rebooting the router now and will leave it for 10 minutes will update

In your NAT-start script try this ( once you have installed NTPMerlin back again)

#!/bin/sh
Say "Paused for 10 secs"
sleep 10      # Never hurts for nat-start!!!
/jffs/scripts/ntpmerlin ntpredirect # ntpMerlin

I have a feeling this may fix your problem! Lets know if it does

I dont see the "paused for 10 sec" in the log after nat-start executes? also Entware was not found from 9 out of 10 attempts. Do you have storage for stats and config set to usb in ntpmerlin? Maybe you should reformat your USB and reinstall everything from scratch. Starting with amtm then diversion which will install entware. Then ntpmerlin.

What does your nat-start , services-start, and service-event scripts have listed in them?

The only thing that bothers me in the log is the use of ISP DNS, but only because I cannot reach it here from USA trying to “dig” against it. Test setting an external WAN DNS like 1.1.1.1 or 9.9.9.9 and reboot.

And Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 DNS servers may be in Edinburgh or Manchester rather than the Virgin UK's London DNS servers
Edit: Virgin UK's IP addresses could be anycast so disregard comment

Yes I cant reach them here from Australia. I assume you mean 194.168.8.100 and 194.168.4.100. Also this message WAN_Connection: ISP's DHCP did not function properly. I cant even find any evidence of any of the ops scripts being loaded in the last log. Service-event, nat-start, firewall-start - all missing - Did you reformat the usb and reenable all scripts?

Yes, he did say "even after a reset" so I'm assuming that means wiped clean as a baby's bottom.

If you are Aussie like me and using an ISP that has dhcp not working, you need to pm jack Cheng on whirlpool forums for the continuous mode instructions, and read into he contious mode theread should help with that issue.

Try defining a routing approach in dnsmasq.conf.add
Server=/example.ntp.server/1.1.1.1

all i can tell is you have multiple events triggering your time sync multiple times in one session. To me it appears to be associated with your wan restarting.
What modem are you using? You maybe having modem issues with your ISP.
