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 11:56:24
I 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.
