Now, the Orbi sends the log file every day at midnight and does not clear the log. What was once a continuous record has become multiple duplicates as the same DHCP entries get mailed day after day.
Does anyone know of a way to restore the previous behavior?
You can select how the logs be sent to you. Under >>Advanced >> Security >> E-Mail , you can select if the logs should be sent to you when full or daily, weekly, ... at a specific time. See attached snapshot:
Thanks for the tip. I looked at Advanced->Security->EMail, and this is what it shows:
i.e. That's what I set it to months ago, and it's still set that way. Only the behavior has changed. My firmware is V2.2.1.210
I will set it to something else, and then set it back. Will be interesting to see tomorrow morning if I get an email (or not).
CrimpOn - Thank you for getting back. Please let us know the outcome and if you require further assistance. I can see if we can get support to contact you.

Same behavior. Got log file this morning just after midnight. Sending when "not full" does not clear the log, so most of what I got duplicates the file I got yesterday.
My next step it to restart the router and see if that somehow "clears something."
