Did you know that if your computer’s clock is off by just a few seconds, it can break your internet experience?

How to Setup

Method 1: On Your Windows PC

1. Right-click your Clock in the taskbar and select “Adjust date/time”.
2. Scroll down to “Related settings” and click “Date, time, & regional formatting”.
3. Click “Additional date, time, & regional settings” (or “Set the time and date” in Control Panel).
4. Go to the “Internet Time” tab.
5. Click “Change settings…”.
6. Check “Synchronize with an Internet time server”.
7. In the Server box, type: time.icn.com.bd
8. Click Update now. You should see “The clock was successfully synchronized”. Click OK.

Method 2: On Your Router (TP-Link / Tenda / MikroTik)

Setting this on your router is the best method because it ensures all devices on your WiFi (phones, tablets, smart plugs) get the correct time automatically.

1. Log into your router (usually 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1).
2. Look for System Tools or Time Settings in the menu.
3. Check the box for NTP Client or “Get Time Automatically”.
4. Set NTP Server 1 to: time.icn.com.bd
5. Save and Reboot your router.
