Orbi RBR20 Administrative Logging
I have looked at the logging setup under the advanced tab and administration and logs. The logging is limited and some of the check boxes are not descriptive enough to understand what is being logged. My desire is to log connections to the ISP. I want to know if the connectivity loss is caused by the ISP connection or a WiFi router issue. Am I misunderstanding the choices provided?

The setting for "Router Operation" seems to put entries into the Orbi log when it is started and when connected to the internet: Such as:
[Internet connected] IP address: 172.249.112.xxx, Monday, March 15, 2021 11:56:24
[Initialized, firmware version: V2.7.2.104] Monday, March 15, 2021 11:56:24I have seen posts that include log entries for [Internet disconnected]. I think what you want are the inner workings of the DHCP protocol, which do not appear to be logged.
