RAX200 Log not showing visits to allowed sites

The router log will not show visits to allowed sites. I have search for hours with no luck. I have enabled keyword blocking/always and services blocking/always. It doesn't matter if keywords or websites are listed to be blocked. Attempted access to those sites listed will show as blocked in the log, but NOT allowed sites.

I've read multiple posts/threads saying Netgear routers do not have this capability effectively blowing this obvious and glaring problem off. However, I know that's nonsense because it worked on my old router and the manual and online Netgear solutions expressly refer to this capability.

Any help would be appreciated.

    Believe those threads. You cannot see a record of sites visitied. This is a regular request.

    Care to tell us which model that was and where to find it in the manual?

      It has been a while since I was looking through the log (about 3 years). However, there was a time when I was able to see allowed websites visited within the last 3 years. It was either on a Netgear 6300 which I had owned for a long time previously or the R8000 when I first started using that 3 years ago.

      I've attached an edited screenshot of pg. 108 in the manual that says the router will show the ip address or name of the website visited in the log.
