Changing date time and timezone in AirPort Extreme #5

Closed aykmaverick closed 3 years ago

aykmaverick commented 3 years ago

Hi, I want to use Timed Access function and I originally bought my AirPort Extreme in Hong Kong and now I am in Toronto Canada. My problem is that the date time of my AirPort Extreme is still in Hong Kong time and I cannot correctly setting time for my Timed Access. I can just adjust the Timed Access by 12/13 hours to compensate but whenever Daylight Saving come I have to adjust it again. So I really want to just change the date time in AirPort to Toronto time and forget about it. So far, I have successfully changed apple-sku with AirPyrt but when I ssh to my AirPort Extreme and type “date”, it still shows Hong Kong Time. My question is how can I change date time and timezone in AirPort so I can set Timed Access correctly? I saw in https://github.com/samuelthomas2774/airport/wiki/ACP-Properties that there is a “timz” setting but I have no idea how I can set it correctly.

Thanks

It turn out a hard reset / factory reset will auto change the timezone to Toronto (https://www.touchbistro.com/help/articles/factory-reset-airport-extreme/). :)
