I've had this issue before but I cant seem to resolve it this time. Might be because of a firmware update. Basically I keep getting a *Reminder: 'The System time zone is different from your locale setting'.
I recall last time I fixed it I had to input the start and end date/times the opposite way around but this time its not working.
I have it set to GMT London which is the same as my computer. There is a section that allows you to enter the DST start and end date/time. I have these set to: -
Start - 3rd month, 4th Sunday, 1 hour
End - 10th month, 5th Sunday, 2 hours
Anyone else with a similar modem/router able to assist please?
 
Should be 1 hour for both, surely? Can you not just set the locale TZ (Europe/London) and then set up NTP to keep the clock synchronised?
 
I don't know why these companies keep insisting on making things more complicated than they need to be. The underlying OS will undoubtedly be Linux, or (slightly) possibly NetBSD. Two settings locale.conf and ntp.conf - done. The extra crap they pile on top just makes things worse. If you post up what firmware/brand the router is, OP, someone with direct experience may be able to guide you.

No, it’s correct. In the UK the clocks go forward at 01:00 on the last Sunday of March and they go backwards at 02:00 on the last Sunday in October.

Where I think the OP may need to adjust is to go from 4th week or 5th week to ‘last week’ because there may not be a Sunday in the 5th week in March and the last Sunday in October could be in Week 5. Unless they are in the USA, in which case I believe the dates are fixed anyway.
 
Unfortunately there is no option to enter 'last week' its only by number. I've also tried setting the dates backwards as I recall this is what I had to do last time. It hasn't worked.
Might contact Asus.

Then you’re stuffed basically.

Are you running UK firmware? I'm sure I've seen a UK ASUS router that has "Last" as an option in that menu.

I'm running the latest firmware. I've just set it to GMT (without London etc) and its now showing the correct time. That'll do.
Thanks for everyone's help. :)
