How to enable NTP client on RouterOS or CHR (Cloud Hosted Router)

When you have a fresh install of RouterOS or CHR (MikroTik Cloud Hosted Router), the NTP client is not enabled by default.

In order to enable it, login to your router using SSH or WinBox and run the following command:

/system/ntp/client/ set enabled=yes servers=de.pool.ntp.org

Depending on your location, you might want to choose a suitable pool of NTP servers.
