Configure my old WGR614v10 to email logs
I'm guessing my first clue to my issue is that this site won't let me enter my model number other than the subject line. I'm also guessing that because I cannot set a port number in the email logs s...

Michael, thank you for responding. I didn't expect to find a solution, but you pointed to a potential one. If I want my logs sent from my older router, I must find a server to let me use port 25. 🙂 Google, I mean Gmail, is more rigid than I hoped it would be. GMAIL, my first choice, is not working with the Nighthawk either. It's my youngest 'child,' and although configured via Gmail, I have yet to receive a log file.
I'm happy to hear my old WGR614 isn't so old. It serves me well, but I must retire it in favor of the GB links. 100MB just doesn't cut it nowadays.
I have the Nighthawk set to smtp.gmail.com @ port 587, which I read online is the correct port config to use with Gmail. But, so far, no joy. I've read the help below the email section in the router and heard you say the manual will have details unavailable directly from the router. I will try that, but I still suspect the issues I'm dealing with will require more information than the manual from Netgear will provide. The setup seems simple enough. Unfortunately, even with the Nighthawk, having the correct config won't be enough; I'll need something other than Gmail.
I've got a WordPress & website server I picked up online to experiment with. Perhaps I shall try to see if that server will allow me to email myself. At least with it, I have access to its settings.

I use Outlook.com for most logs.
smtp-mail.outlook.com
port 587
I have no idea what the WGR614v10 can accept.
