I was able to use gmail as my outgoing mail server:
Router:
Send to This E-mail Address: My Email Address
Your Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.gmail.com
Outgoing Mail Server Port Number: 465 using SSL, 587 using TLS
User Name: My Email Address
>>> Password:Generated Token from google if you use MFA, if not then your gmail login password will work as well.
After entering in your info on the router:
Google:
- login into google if you haven't already
- Go to SETTINGS (gear on the top right hand corner)
- Click on ACCOUNTS And IMPORT fourth tap over right next to inbox
- Click on Other Google Account Settings
- Type in the search box at the top: Enter App Passwords
- Click on App passwords: Enter your credentials at the login screen
- Name the password, Router, etc. Click CREATE
>>> Copy your token, Click DONE, and paste it in the password section of the router right below the User Name
- Save and wait a few seconds
- Click on logs right below administration and test the connection by sending a log and check your inbox.
>>> = PASSWORD INSTRUCTION
