RUT906 – GPS Time Synchronization Not Working on Newer Firmware

Networking Solutions
1

Good morning everyone,

Device: RUT906
Firmware tested: 07.20.3, 07.19.3, 07.18.3

I am configuring a RUT906 router. The specific firmware version is not critical, but I would prefer to use a recent one.

I am experiencing an issue related to time synchronization via GPS. The device is unable to update its date and time using GPS information.

Configuration details:

  • GPS antenna correctly connected to the device

  • GPS service enabled

  • GPS fix verified in Services → GPS → Map (fix is acquired and works correctly)

  • Time synchronization via GPS enabled

  • Update interval set to every 5 minutes

Issue description:

  • After waiting more than 5 minutes, the date and time are not updated

  • Rebooted the device and waited again more than 5 minutes → no change

  • From the CLI, running gpsctl -s returns 0, as if no GPS fix were available

I tested the same procedure on all the firmware versions listed above, with identical results.

As a last test, I installed an older firmware version 07.09.3, and with this version GPS time synchronization works correctly. However, this firmware is too old for my use case, and I would strongly prefer a newer release.

Has anyone experienced a similar issue or found a solution/workaround for newer firmware versions?

Thank you in advance for your support.
