Actually, the modem appears to ignore the DST setting.

Why would there be such a parameter then?

I don't know. I also tried 1AM for the "UTC" and "Western European"
time zones, but there were no date corrections there either.

BTW, I used this site as my reference:

As for my modem, it is sold as a modem but it is actually a
modem/router, although the router function is somewhat restricted. In
fact D-Link has a tech note describing how to attach a router to this
modem/router <shrug>. One notable distinction between the DSL-302G
modem and D-Link's other "genuine" routers is that the latter have
configurable firewalls. I suspect the difference is principally in the
firmware. Perhaps the nonfunctional DST parameter is a vestigial piece
of code, ie could it be that the DSL-302G's firmware is a cut down
version of the firmware of a more elaborately optioned model, and that
the DST code has been omitted??? In fact the modem firmware contains
an additional configuration page that has been customised for an OEM
(Optus, my former ISP). Perhaps the DST routine was ditched to make
room for it???
