My log in the router only shows about 8 last entries. How do I get see more entries there?Also I coudn't get Email working because gmail rejects it from logging into my email accont. Any ideas how to make it work?

Chuck_M, just got home from work, log is full however it cuts off several hours after I left this morning starting about 3 hours later logging entries. Now there seems to be some sort of total entries or some time constraints... Will have to count total entries tomorrow to see.... annoying "bug" for sure

Hi, All, This has been brought up already to our product teams. We will provide update once new information will be available. Regards, Blanca Community Team

I have not made any changes, but I noticed that number of log entries went down from 27 to just 1, which is the logging into the router:[DHCP IP: (192.168.1.7)] to MAC address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX, Monday, Aug 31,2020 17:54:31Still Firmware Version V3.2.16.6_1.4.4. This is totally useless.I also had a hardware issue with one of the 3 units, the reset button did not work because the body was lose and had moved. I called NETGEAR support (well within the 90 days), they said to ship the unit at my expense and then they will send the replacement after they receive it. Never had that kind of experience with any company I have worked with, especially for a router that costs $1,000. I decided to keep the defective unit.This is my first Netgear device ever and will definitely be the last one.

I know. Seems like some times the logs show more then 8 then other times, it's back to showing less. No idea what goes on behind the scenes. I did send of a email the other day asking NG to put this on there review list. :smileywink:

After all trouble shooting has been exhausted or if it's found to be a FW/HW issue, then it's beyond forum help to effect any changes. This has to be done at the NG support/engineering level. Just the way it is. Nothing neffarious or "dangerous" about it. If you feel way that thats fine. Everyone has an opinion. Just here to let users know that if there seeing problems, and we can't help them, they need to contact NG support and bug them about it as nothing can be done here in the forums about this problem. Period. Have a great weekend. You, my friend, are not the owner of these forums nor are you the definer of what their purposes are. You seem to believe you have some authority or purpose for which you don't. You may notice that many users are tiring of your misguided sense of ownership of the Negear Community. You didn't answer the question in the previous post... why did you CC the netgear moderators if they were innocent bystanders and didnt expect for them to carry the water to the developers? Cat got your tongue? You are dead wrong about these forums not being able to effect change. You, however, may be standing in the way. I recommend you relook at how you are peceived and the silly sense of authority you think you may have. These forums dont belong to you - so try not to control what is or is not discussed in here. I have noticed comments from you where you seem to think that if a problem doesnt exist for you, it isnt important. You dont speak on behalf of Netgear nor do you speak for anyone else on here. My weekends are always great.

I'm here to help with troubleshooting and support issues is all. I agree, the forums are here for helping people out. However at some point the forums can't help out much. At the lower levels when there is a Firmware or hardware issue, its out of our hands. NG and the dev's have to make the change there. Some just don't get that.

I agree, I would like to see more moderator involvement here in the forums. Something we have asked about. Will see as time goes on. And yes, some more inclusion of beta testing was asked about as well. Starting to see some other things though here in the forums though. Change seems to be in the wind...

With Orbi, seems to be a mixed bag of users that have seen little or no issues with there systems:

While others seem to have constant problem experiences. Many factors can contribute to this so why we try, at least to narrow it down as far as we can to see where the problem may be. Helps NG in information and a area to look into when they go to review the problems expressed by users. I to had NOT seen the DNS issue up until this past March time frame. After that, I have not seen this issue since. Seems that so take offense when mentioning this nor should be taken like that.

Overall theres been world events thats impacted most things and as we move forward, were hopeful that some of these things will get cleared out and hopefully things will resume normally as time goes on. Things that happend last year really put a wrench in to the works for every one.

Yes, personal comments get nobody no where. Period.
