Nighthawk x6 r8000 syslog function?

Hi all,

i bought a nighthawk x6 R8000 (Firmwareversion V1.0.2.44_1.0.96) a few weeks ago. I think it is a really nice device with a lot of features you can normally only find in device of a much higher price....

But I have a problem with one feature:

You can send the logfile only to a mail address. But why?

Is there any chance to get the logfiles via send to an syslog server, scp or to save them to an external drive?

At the moment I send the log to a local mail server but this is more a workaround than a good solution.

Thanks in advance for any useful feedback. :-)

Try looking at DD-WRT.

Evidently, that's how all NETGEAR routers are designed.
There's no way you can have the logs be sent to a syslog server.
Unless 3rd party firmware offers such feature.

Hey guys,

thanks for the quick response. i can't believe that my old cheap router had a function which isn't available in the x6 firmware.

Thanks for the link...i will give it a try. :-)
