Orbi not logging activity as specified
Since the firmware update to 2.2.1.210, my Orbi seems to log ONLY DHCP assignments, admin logins, when it sends a log file, and time synchronization. It NO LONGER logs known DOS attacks and port sca...
Try manually loading FW and resetting factory defaults and set up from scratch. See if the logs gather what your looking for...
I understand that when "turn the damn thing off and back on again" doesn't work, the ultimate solution is to "reinstall everything from scratch."
I still would like to know "am I the ONLY person whose Orbi does not log intrusion attempts as it did before the firmware update?"
Seems to be unless nobody else is using this feature at the moment...
I see absolutely nothing in my Orbi log other than admin logins. I think the logger is broken. My Orbi is in AP mode for what that’s worth.
When in Access Point mode, there isn't much an Orbi can log. For example, DHCP requests are handled by a router, not an AP. When I go through the list of things that can be logged, almost everything I see pertains to router functions, not AP's. I'm not even certain that an AP needs to know what time it is.
I wish Netgear's documentation provided information about what these log categories include. For example, what the heck is "wireless access"? I've NEVER seen a log entry like that, although my "assumption" is that it would be logging every time a new device connected to the Orbi.
Thanks for posting.
