XG Firewall Time getting out of sync

I use One-Time Password and the Time on the device is very important.

I tried to "Use pre-defined NTP Server"  My Time zone is "Australia/Sydney" 

For some reason, the Current Time is out by 30 minutes. 

So I tried to use "Do not use NTP Server" and set the time manually. It works for little while, but the clock kept getting out of sync and then VPN users cannot login because the One-Time Password from the authenticator app just won't work.

Any ideas?

  • Hi,

    what model XG and how old? Sounds like the onboard clock is having issues.

    what ntp server are you using?

  • XG 135w I fixed the clock last night, but this morning the clock is out of sync again.

  • Check the logviewer system. Also please post a copy of the time setting. Though having asked those questions I think you need to raise a support case.

  • Here is the logviewer when I filter the Admin log with search word "Time"

    You see, this morning, the time has gone out by 2 hours, I had to adjust the time from 10:30am back to 8:50am

    I am scratching my head on how this happen.
