Time change
do you have an internet connection with your mesh so the node can access the time server?

No gateway
I do not see evidence of a gateway in the screenshots you posted. If the node is not seeing a route to the web or otherwise has access to t time server on the mesh, you will not get a real-time posting.

For the node
for the node to have Internet access it must be attached via RF or dtd to another node or mesh that has a WAN gateway on it. I am assuming this is your first node so is attached to your computer and the computer has internet access via a home connection. Would this be accurate?

So, your AirRouter (that has internet), will need to have the "Mesh Gateway" field (on the Setup screen) enabled.  After you set the time and (optionally) upload your location information to AREDN servers, you can disable the "Mesh Gateway" as it is NOT a best practice to leave it enabled.

Actually, I see your two nodes.  They are "stacked" at the same lat/lon so I had to click to "expand them"...
