[Wireless Router] How to configure Daylight Saving Time (DST) or Summer time on ASUS Router?
ASUS routers support Daylight Saving Time (DST) configuration.
If you live in a country/region that has daylight savings,which means to turn clocks one hour ahead in spring and turn back in autumn, you can set up DST time zone through ASUS router web GUI. If the router is connected to the internet, it will auto select the DST time zone of your location, or you can set up DST time zone manually.
Here's two time zone examples for manually settings.
Notice：Ensure your router system time is accurate and able to connect NTP server before changing to DST time zone.

FAQ
1. Why is there a reminder on web GUI when I applied DST time zone?
Please make sure the computer connected to the router applies same DST time zone with the router.
When the time zone of connected device is different from the router, the router will detect it automatically and recommend you to check and correct it to your local time zone.
2. What is the impact if time zone of the router is incorrect?
If the system time is inaccurate, related functions such as Parental controls – Time scheduling will not be executed right at the time point you want.
Please refer to the following FAQ to make sure your router’s time zone synchronizes with NTP server: [Administration] How to set up Network Detection to make sure your router’s time zone synchronizes with NTP server?
