Apple Vision Pro is now available in the U.S.

Time can't be set automatically anymore

Hi,


So I've a problem with my time settings. Today I opened my MacBook, and the time and date was automatically set to 23 February. This caused my internet to stop working on my Macbook. Whenever I set my time to manual my internet worked again. So I switched it to manual and set the correct time/date, after this I installed Sonoma 14.1 and hoped that It'd start working again. Unfortunately this didn't work.


I rebooted my Macbook a couple of times, turned off my timezone settings, checked my location service settings, turned on and off bluetooth and Wi-fi, reset network settings, setup a different user and tested it there, NVRAM reset isn't possible since its a new MacBook Pro with m2 chip and I also tried changing the time source server. So far nothing has worked. I could of course use my MacBook with manual time settings, which I currently use.. but I would like it to work on automatic again..


I hope someone can help me with this.

MacBook Pro (M2 Pro, 2023)

I would do what works, if automatic does not work use manual.


Is there an issue in manual setting...?
