The problem is that the 192.168.1.1 seems to be too distant to the UTC
source server. Stratum is the level of indirections that the time
information went through on the way from the real origin to the server
contacted to provide information (the maximum stratum is 15).

Please read more about stratum here:

FYI: Note that using the -d option doesn't set the date in fact. It is
just a debug output for seeing the operation progress.
