What happened to the log and Attached Devices
What happened to the log and Attached Devices. I had my router set to email me the list of attached devices every morning, but a couple of weeks ago it stopped including this list. What changed?
Sorry, misunderstood the question. After I had responded, I realized that my router is not getting the latest version when I ask it to check it self, so I did a manual check and found I was way behind. I have now installed 2,7,5,4, and I can see attached devices in the log again.
Problem solved.
Thanks.
Problem came back. I had my router RBR50 set to email me the list of attached devices every morning, but a couple of weeks ago it stopped including this list. This time, there are no new firmware updates to install. I have done a power cycle, manually uploaded the latest firmware and reset the router to default settings and restored my settings, but log is still only showing me logging in to try to solve this issue and some time syncs.

So are the logs being successfully sent from the RBR now? Even if you select the SEND button then check the log on the RBR to see if the log shows the log being sent successfully?
The sending bit works fine, both at scheduled time and when I click manually to send. It just is not recording the events in the log it used to.
The graph below shows how it overnight on March 18 stopped sending any info about connected devices. The graph is a product of my own MS Access database, where I import the daily logs directly from Outlook, to keep an aye on any suspicious devices connecting.

I am not aware of a feature to email a list of attached devices. Is this "literally" what was happening, or did you use a program to extract DHCP assignments from the Orbi log and compare the MAC address to a list in the database?
Approximately how many devices are connected to this Orbi system?
Strictly speaking, what it used to send was a list of all device connections since the last log 24 hours ago. So what seem to have stopped is the logging of a device connecting.
While messing around in the settings, I discovered that my main PC, intentionally set to a fixed IP address, was registered with the wrong MAC ID. As soon as I corrected this, the log has restarted to log connections again. Here is an example of one device connection:
[DHCP IP: 10.0.0.19] to MAC address 24:ee:9a:50:18:ec, Monday, April 01, 2024 13:54:01
Same graph showing recognized connections. By tomorrow the list should be back to normal.
