[R6400 V2] Do Router Logs Show If WPS Button Was Pushed?
I think I may have accidentally pushed the WPS button. Would router logs show if it was pushed? I checked and was not able to find anything. There were just DHCP entries indicating IP addresses mapped to Mac addresses.
If the WPS button had been pushed would there be a log for it?

Do you mean that you checked by pressing the WPS button or you just checked the logs?
It would be easy to run your own test simply by pressing the WPS button. After all, it won't do any harm.
Just another user with time on their hands.
I meant that I checked the logs.
I have not tried pressing the WPS button again, as the documentation indicates it's a potential security risk for other nearby devices to connect (though I assume that is quite unlikely). In any case, this is why I was concerned and so I checked the router logs but was unable to find anything regarding WPS button presses. However, I am not sure if it would have logged it at all.
I checked the documentation and was unable to find anything regarding logging WPS button presses as well, which is why I asked here, in case anyone knew.
