It's a pity your debug doesn't include the detail of the packet received from the NTP server. However, I do notice that on your associations detail your receive time is an hour behind your transmit time, and in any case, they both think they are in UTC. So, I will take a guess that you are in CET timezone and you have not set up your router accordingly.

Please make sure your timezones are set up correctly. Foe continental Europe, this means:

clock timezone CET 1

clock summer-time CEST recurring last Sun Mar 2:00 last Sun Oct 3:00

Then have a look at your clock on the router and you will find that it looks 1 hour ahead. Now you can set the clock right - don't take the timezone out again.. set the clock so it is correct in your timezone.

THen leave it a couple of minutes and see if they synchonise a bit better. If not, then post again and I'll see if I can sort it out.
