The first line (router.coyote.d, which I presume is your router)
is showing stratum 16, which means it does not consider itself to be
a valid time source yet.  This could be because you haven't given it
enough time to stabilize (i.e. you just restarted it), or because it
can't actually contact any time servers in order to synchronize at all.

If it remains "st 16" for more than a few minutes, then something is
probably wrong.

Meanwhile, this system is getting valid time synchronization from four
other sources (three of them stratum 2, one stratum 3).  Your offset
values look good (the offset is shown in milliseconds, so you are within
about 5 milliseconds of all your valid sources).
