    mail.consolidated.net

    It should be this:
    mail.consolidated.net

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
