Manage Network Time Protocol
Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a networking protocol that synchronizes clocks between
computer systems over data networks. The cable data gateway includes a real-time clock
(RTC), which it uses for scheduling. The cable data gateway regularly updates its RTC by
contacting one of the three NTP servers.

Internet Explorer.
2. In the address field of your browser, enter http://routerlogin.net.
