Set Time without PrusaConnect

Is there a way to set the time on the printer without using PrusaConnect?  The only reason I care is because the timestamp on the file is screwed up when I upload a file through PrusaLink or when sending a file through PrusaSlicer. 

Best Answer by Walter Layher:

If you have a way to connect an Ethernet cable to your printer it is easy, provided you have a router with DHCP. Just plug the ethernet cable in for a few seconds and you can see that the time on the display changes. If Ethernet is not available at your location you can use a mobile hotspot and connect the printer's wifi to that. Also, just a few seconds are enough. Then you can deactivate the hotspot.

Perhaps it cannot reach an NTP server because the firewall is blocking that? I am not sure if the IP address for the NTP server is hardcoded in the firmware or if any NTP server will do.

Thank you.  I am dumb.  I had this on a vlan that blocked the NTP server.
