Time Setting - no 'daylight saving' option

Time Setting - no 'daylight saving' option
Time Setting - no 'daylight saving' option
2014-04-16 06:39:52
Region : Ireland

Model : TD-W8980

Hardware Version : V1

Firmware Version : 0.6.0 1.3 v000e.0 Build 131012 Rel.51720n

ISP : Sky


While attempting to set time/date I note that "daylight saving time (british summer time)" is not available as an option. In my example I set my timezone (Ireland) to GMT, when I press 'Get GMT' the populated time is an hour behind the current time with no way to adjust for DST. The only way I can correct the time is to use 'get from PC' or set TimeZone to GMT+1 which is not ideal. Is this a bug?

Hi,

That was a known problem with a lot of TP-Link routers.
I hope that someone reported it for your device.
In waiting a bug fix, I suggest you to set GMT+1 in summer and GMT on winter...

Thanks for that. I reported it as a bug to TP-Link.

Unfortunately that firmware is only available for the US currently.

While it will work in most cases you have to be aware that there are some important differences in router functionality across countries. In particular the wireless frequency allocation used in WiFi differ in say USA, Japan & Europe. I would rather wait for an official release for my region before using.

I'm glad it works for you, but I'll wait for a release for my region ;)

Having said that, it is not available from the TP-Link support site for UK or Italy but is available for Norway and Denmark! Kinda odd!

it is not strange, sometimes all of the sites are not updated, but the firmware is for the whole world, it is so.
if you do not believe me, try asking for information to support global tp-link by email
