2:00AM. The clock went forward 1 hour at that time.

Some more infos...

RT-N56U Official firmware or yours, doesn't support this automatically like the 
linksys router or event custom firmware like dd-wrt / tomato.

Hey means "summer / winter" time. And he ask if its possible to make that it 
will automatically switch between summer/winter time zone.

No problem. You're welcome! But if i think about it, it's already implemented 
beause N56U update the time over ntp server and this server provide 
automatically the "summer/winter" time change. Please correct if i am wrong!

Its not implemented because the time of the router didnt changed on sunday. But 
it changed on my linksys router.

Maybe the router could not connect to ntp server properly. Will see.

On my side from the log, it does connect : ntp client: time is synchronized to 
pool.ntp.org

Just not adjusting for summer / winter time.

Yes I understand, thank you.
I'm not sure, but I suspect it was specially hard coded for Russia in this 
firmware )
You can try to change time zone manually.

Go to :
http://my.router/Main_AdmStatus_Content.asp

nvram set time_zone=GMT-5
nvram commit

I think you got this wrong.
I can change the time zone manually via the standard web page.
It is correctly set to GMT-5. But since last sunday, (March-11-12 at 2:00AM)
The clock went forward 1 hour at that time.
So I *virtually* become (GMT-4) if you prefer
Like other router, there should be an option(tick box) to automatically push 1 
hour.
Like I said, its not even a feature supported yet on the official asus firmware.

As a work around for now, I have to change my time zone in the router to GMT-4

Btw your command line didnt work correctly. It set my router to GMT-12 lol.

We need a configuration similar to dd-wrt.

Yes, I've understood you correctly I think. You know, there should be some 
daemon like cron, which can change it automatically. (with correct values of 
timezones in web GUI)) But now, there is no such application in firmware. Maybe 
later...

PS: You are right, sorry. I've written you incorrect value of timezone for 
command line. There are no GMT value in nvram at all..

No problem, Its just a suggestion for future improvement :)

Yeah would be great to see that implemented! Maybe cron is not the easy way to 
get correct time for the average skilled poeple or if u not need cron for other 
jobs.

Seem its implemented on  8e-p1  even if not mentioned in change log.
Could be a official Asus fix too tho..

Anyway I don`t have the issue anymore so big thanks.

I noticed that when I use MANUAL IP settings from N56U in AP mode and make the 
Modem+Router the DNS it doesnt connect with NTP server. 

When I use DHCP the time uploads but with manual IP it does not.
