While that is all true, none of it applies to the Superhub. Furthermore, the Superhub does not function as a time server for any other devices on your network.
Interestingly enough the Superhub 1 (not sure about the 2) uses a real-time operating system. Precision RTC timekeeping is an inherent feature of the device itself, making external time even more irrelevant.
Many consumer routers don't have any externally referenced clock at all.
