What is the Netgear router with most detailed Internet access log?
We want to log all Internet activity. What is the Netgear home router with the most detailed Internet usage / access log? Cheers.

Not sure exactly what you mean by "all internet activity". Even to what details of that activity you want?
You might try contacting Netgear Sales, via phone ((408) 907-8000) or e-mail (sales@netgear.com ) and ask them?
The R7000 has these options for instance:
Include in Log Attempted access to allowed sites Attempted access to blocked sites and services Connections to the Web-based interface of this Router Router operation (startup, get time etc) Known DoS attacks and Port Scans Port Forwarding / Port Triggering Wireless access Automatic Internet connection reset Turn off wireless signal by schedule

Thank you IrvSp.
Is that log downloadable? How can it be exported?
For how long the log grows in entries before entries are deleted? Hours? Days? Months?
I have sent the question to sales as you suggested.
Thanks a lot.

You can control this.
Most routers/modems have the ability to email you the logs on a schedule, when they get full, or some other cue.
It can be tricky to set up the email, but it works.
