SBG8300 internal time is floating around - How do I perminantly set it?

I can’t seem to lock the router time and it floats intermittently. I don’t know if there is a problem tracking time or it’s getting set by 1 of the 3 included Time Servers incorrectly. Setting Automatic vs Manual seems to have no effect.


Just bought a SBG8300 and it works great with exception of Parental Control and blocking timeframes for different devices. Behavior is intermittent and unexpected of when a block happens. After some trouble shooting, I noticed the  time display if floating all over the place. Sometimes 10 hours ahead, sometimes 8 or something. Once I hit the “Save Time Settings” button, it snaps back to the correct time I’m in (Pacific Time), but if  log out and log back in 20 minutes later, it may or may not be off. 

 

User Steps: 

> Admin page https://192.168.0.1 > Gateway > Summary > Time (page is https://192.168.0.1/time.php) > Observe: “Router Time” value.
