I just installed R070as and I am still having issues with the Almond+ having the wrong time after a reboot. Here is what I did after installing R070as:
Logged in to OpenWRT interface. Timezone shows New York, but Local Time shows 22:45:03
Checked LCD UI time app - shows 10:45 pm
Changed to UTC. Saved. Local time shows 22:46:56
Changed to New York. Saved. Local time shows 17:48:06.
I rebooted the router using the android app and repeated the above steps.
I also rebooted using OpenWRT and it again showed the incorrect time.
