Hello!

I had the same issue and I discovered that you always need a NTP (Network Time Protocol) fed into your network (port 123). For my use, I use Wan internet source at home to get it (it's automatic). After a 1 or 2 minutes, every devices get the same clock. And when I'm in a venue, I use Tethering as WAN with a USB cable connected to my Router for a short time at aim to "synchronise" my devices, specially my raspberry which don't have any RTC modules to keep time clock when OFF.

It's a little but useful process when you meet this issue. I don't know if this is what you need, but this is a good start.

Kind regards, John M.
