ORBI - RBR850 - Log File anomalies
Hello, Netgear ORBI RBR850 log file only has 40 - 60 entries then stops adding new entries. (Manual says limit size is 256) All include event check boxes are ticked. Running firmware v4.6...
Yes, the RBR850 User Manual does say on page 102 that the Orbi log file can contain "up to 256 entries". I selected the option to email the log "when it is full". Why this option appears on the Security Menu, EMail menu is a mystery to me. (See page 49 of the User Manual.)
Each of the log filed sent to me holds a different number of entries, usually over 230 but well under 256. My guess is that the log fills when it reaches a certain number of character, not lines.
Not having an 850 product, I did not pay a lot of attention in the past year when issues were being discussed about how logs were working (or not working) on the 850, but I do remember there being several active posts. Maybe someone on the forum with access to that product has a better memory than mine. FURRYe38
