RT-AC88U with Merlin 382.1_2 Time Zone error

[bemo47]

Hi,
My router still says time zone error, but the setting is the correct one, GMT+1, i am in France, but it shows an error and its 1 hour in advance.
What should i do to correct this error ?
Regards,
Bernard

Yes, but by doing this we use a time zone which is -1 hour from the right one, so it correct the error, but there is still an error somewhere...

I did it, no error now.....

Thks for ur answer.... but abnormal on Merlin side...

Your problem is it is set to March and January on 2nd Sunday, it should be March and October on 5th (which means last). As we are in November your current rules think it is still Summer time!

Stock Asus firmware is the same. They all come defaulted to the wrong settings.

For CET, Central European Time, the correct DST settings are these, you can select any of the Time Zones as long as it is GMT+01:00:
Starts: Last Sunday in March at 02:00
Ends: Last Sunday in October at 03:00

Ok, got it, i change jan by oct and now i can set GMT+1, its ok
But i still don't understand the meaning of these settings, month, ok, but why 5th week ? Anyway it works....
And if we use an NTP server, this NTP shouyld gives the right params ?

Consider 5th to mean “last”. So it means last Sunday in the month regardless of if there are 4 or 5 Sunday’s.

NTP will work fine, but the protocol does not give you DST/Timezone Settings. NTP always gives the UTC time and your router/device offsets that to your local time.

That's an Asus and many, many more device manufactures firmware problem with an outdated database.

All NTP servers only send the reference time, irrespective of the NTP server you select. The device then adjusts this reference with the Time Zone settings you set.
