Hi TP-Link,

​I am using the TL-WR3002X (AX3000), but its performance as a "travel" router is severely hindered by a major software flaw.

​The Issue:

Every time the device is unplugged, it loses the current time and resets to October 2025.

​The Impact:

Because the date is wrong at startup, WISP (Hotspot) and USB tethering fail to connect because security certificates appear "invalid" or "expired." This creates a loop: the router can't get internet because the time is wrong, and it can't fix the time because it has no internet.

​Requested Improvements:

​Memory Save:

Have the router save the last known time to flash memory so it doesn't jump back months/years on reboot.

​Auto-App Sync:

The Tether App should automatically sync the phone’s time to the router upon connection without manual menu navigation.

​

NTP Priority:

Allow the router to sync time before finalizing secure handshakes.

​As a travel router, it shouldn't require manual intervention every time I plug it into a new socket. Please address this in the next firmware.

​Best regards,
