Hi modster
Welcome to the community!
What's the firmware version installed on your router?
Have you tried doing a factory reset?
I tried making up an email address from consolidated.net and input the outgoing mail server and it did save it.
Can you post a screenshot too?
Elaine,
My router's firmware is Firmware Version V1.0.4.30_1.1.67
I have not tried to do a reset. I will try it and let you know.
I will also provide a screen shot if it doesn't work.
Thanks
Elaine,
I have done factory reset on my router but still not able to set up email log. Still getting the invalid SMTP address.
I know that mail.consolidated.net is a valid SMTP address because I am using it all over the place. Plus in my other non-netgear routers.
This is getting frustrating....
I have attached a screen shot per your request.
Please help me.
