Wrong Clock time Cable Modem Vendor:Technicolor Model:CGM4331COM

Cable Modem

HW Version:2.0

Vendor:Technicolor

BOOT Version:S1TC-3.63.20.104

Core Version:1.0

Model:CGM4331COM

I do not beielve that the wrong clcok time reported by the modem is local, but rather it is an Xfinity Server error not being adjsauted for Day Lights Savings Time in San Francisco Zip Code 94107.  Xfinity did everything buyt solve the problem, where I believe it is a simple switch to adjust foi the one hour difference in time.

This is the third modem that exhibited the excat error and all three modems show the correct time when the falls back to standard time.  Focusing the source of the error to Xfinity Sever and nothing else.  I shared the above observation and they failed to see it.  It is a source of seriuous connectivity problems including stutte of live tv steram, droppede internet connections, etc.

I am curious to know if your modem is reporting wrong clcok time also.  And this is a request for Xfinity technology persoins to help to fix this serious error. As presentede above, it would take two seconds to solve the problem that has persisted over three yeras and countless hours of technical support all failing to resolve the problem.  Please give mke your two seconds.  My correct time is 4:15:36 6/26/2020

It's normal. Modems don't do daylight savings time. They do UTC time.

[zackSF]

it reports Local Time as shown here:

[EG]

Trust me. It's normal to be an hour different. We've seen that a million times here.

[zackSF]

So, it is a prevalent issue if it has been seen millions of times. How can you explain that the Clock appears to be correct when it is Standard Time not day light saving time? The modem reports Local Time and that time must account for standard time or day light savings time.

[EG]

Right. As stated, it does standard time only. Again, it's not an issue. You can spin it any way you like. Look, are you actually having any connectivity problems that we can help you with here or are you just focusing on the clock ?

[zackSF]

I am focusing only on the clock which I believe is causing connectivity issues. Apparently I am in the wrong forum for your taste.

[EG]

Nope. It's not connected. It's passive. And it has nothing to do with "my taste" bud. How about explaining your issue in detail ?

Drop it. If you can’t get what I have written by now, you never will. Which part of dropped connections, stuttering of live tv do you not get?
