Abstract
Systems and methods for device time synchronization by networking devices are disclosed. For example, a networking device may be configured to perform one or more operations to synchronize time as between the networking device and one or more computing devices in an environment. The networking device may be selected from multiple networking devices to be the time master based on one or more factors and/or operations, such as the number of devices in communication with the networking devices, the device types of those devices, device-communication amounts, communication abilities of the devices, and/or which networking device has a wired connection to a modem, for example.
