Using ROS 7 for first time. I set ntp client and the router picks up the time. I set /sys clock time-zone-autodetect to Yes, but the time zone name stays at manual and the clock doesn’t update. It’s still at GMT.
Are you running the latest stable version (7.17, or 7.16.2)? e.g. Some devices come with older versions, and I want to say there was some bug someplace in TZ auto-detect and/or NTP in older versions.
FWIW, Mikrotik has a build in time sync in /ip/cloud, so there is not a specific need to use your own NTP server to get time, unless you want to. But the defaults should get time/time-zone out-of-the-box.
Well, it’s certainly not doing what it’s supposed to be doing. I now have two RouterOS 7 devices - a Chateau LTE6 and a hAP AX3 - and both happily show me GMT time, even though TZ autodetect is set to yes. Th hAP AX3 is running 7.17 updated this morning. On the new hAP AX3 I did not set any NTP settings. It’s straight out of the box and updated.
