Routers generally do not do NTP in any way, shape, or form! They don't need to know the time! Expensive professional level (Cisco) routers can act as NTP servers or clients but using them in that way is not recommended. There have been a couple of moderately infamous exceptions; e.g. Netgear and D-Link. (Google for Netgear and Wisconsin or D-Link and PHK) If what you want is for the router's built in DHCP server to provide an NTP server address it may be possible but I don't know of a router that does that. The DHCP protocol does allow a query for an NTP server address so it should be possible. It's possible that a router might forward such a request and the reply. I don't know of one that does; I've been using the same clunky old LinkSys BEFSR81 for many years now and haven't looked at the consumer router market lately. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
