If router has a battery (for example RB230), then BIOS stored time is used as a startup time. Startup date and time is jan/02/1970 00:00:00 gmt-offset. Older versions will use to communicate with the MikroTik's Cloud server. Since RouterOS v6.43 your device will use to communicate with the MikroTik's Cloud server. The time zone is detected depending on routers public IP address and our Cloud servers database. Note: Time-zone-autodetect by default is enabled on new RouterOS installation and after configuration reset. If enabled, time zone will be set automaticaly. time-zone-autodetect ( yes or no default: yes) : This is new feature, starting from 6.27.Special value manual applies manually configured GMT offset, which by default is 00:00 with no daylight saving time. Like most of the text values in RouterOS, this value is case sensitive. time-zone-name ( manual, or name of time zone default value: manual) : Name of time zone.

Local time cannot, however, be exported, and is not stored with the rest of the configuration. These values can be adjusted using the set command.
