  • I have my Orbi configured to email me the logs weekly by configuring the outgoing mail server settings.  I went to Security...Email and checked Turn E-mail Notification On and then entered my email address + mail server/port and username/password.  Then I set the logs to be sent Weekly at Sunday 12am.

     

    What email provider do you use (e.g., gmail)?  Note that using gmail is not as straight-forward because it doesn't work by default with many router outgoing email functions (if they don't support their modern mail server security requirements, which many do not).
