NetGear Router wgr614 V.5 - Time is wrong
The title basically sums it up. The clock in my Netgear wgr614 router (version 5) is wrong.
It got reset back to January 1, 2003. While the functionality of the router works, when it sends email alerts, it sends them saying it was sent in 2003.
I could find no settings to set the clock, and Netgear's web site was no help. A Netgear Forum suggested reflashing the firmware, but that was no help....
Any help to get the time right?

on page 5-7 of your manual do you have the correct time zone set? did you tick the box for daylight savings time?

Did you try doing a reset of your router? This generally involves holding in a button on the back. Note this will reset your router to factory settings so you will need to reenter all your settings. page b6-7 of manual

The time zone is set correctly (and I'm guessing that would have no effect on the year....) and I did reset the unit. I did that after reinstalling the firmware didn't work.
No luck at all... It is not a router killing problem, but still is an oddity.
And, while technically not a router killer, I was just at Fry's Electronics and they have refurdished NetGear RangeMax 824's for $30...

UPDATE:
The time is now okay, so I am guessing it was an issue with the time server NetGear chooses it to use.
