USING GMAIL OUTGOING MAIL SERVER TO SEND ACCESS LOGS
I have tried to set up the access log to be mailed to me when i have wifi breaches by a mac address not on my access list but, It does not appear to work. Does anyone know exactly how to set this up...

And remember, the email address for the sender SMTP server does not have to be the same as the address you send logs to.
So you can use the outlook SMTP server to send "to/through" GMail addresses. And vice versa.
The important thing is to get the settings right. None of the screenshots from JGL991 are likely to work.
The first one is incomplete, likewise the thrd one. The second one does not seem to have anything to do with the problem.
The message from schumaku shows what you need to so. But the Primary E-mail Address: and User Name can be different. But they can also be the same.

Yes, of course.
Outgoing Mail Server, Outgoing Mail Server Port Number, and the authentication User Name and Password belong to the same group of the outgoing or sending mail server. The Primary E-Mail Address is the receiver address and can be different..

Netgear doesn't help with the way that it labels these things.
