    Yes, a "reset" and reconfigure from scratch has fixed the Orbi log problem.  i.e.

    1. It seems to log what I expect: admin logons, NTP, sending email, DHCP, DoS.
    2. It sent a log after about 24 hours.  Hmmmm.  One of the settings is "once a day" (24 hours), which is NOT what is selected.  So, it may be a coincidence that the log filled up in almost exactly 24hours, or......  (still not "doing what it was told to do")  In a bizzare sense, this might be even better.  i.e. if no log appears for two days, then it's broken again.

    I'm marking this "closed".

Glad the reset and setup from scratch fixed it. Good to know that it works now. 

Enjoy. :smileywink:
