RS100 Email Logs
I've been practically all over the Advanced Tab and subsections and cannot find where to set this up. The Help section in the Logs subsection does state "Click Send Log to send the log file to your e...
Hello Dummy001 (no, you are absolutley not - far to many users never look into the online documentation)
Not a Nightawk RS router owner or user here. Have looked over the RS100 User Manual - and have not spotted any indications of this feature.
Looking a little bit further on "bigger" models User Manuals, like the
https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RS200/RS200_RS150_UM_EN.pdf , starting from p.65 one can find a this section:

Set up security event email notifications
The router can email you its logs of router activity. The log records router activity and security events such as attempts to access blocked sites or services. To set up email notifications:

The https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RS90/RS100-90-70_UM_EN.pdf does not show this feature, so best guess is: This feature is not available on the RS100,
Looks to me this section on the device online help does not completely removed for these "smaller" models for simplicity.
In case you are a "new" to the RS100, and you own the RS100 for less than three months - you are entitled for 90 days of complimentary technical support for the installation of your Nighthawk RS100 router, which begins from the date of purchase (== the product registration date) - contact Netgear Support via https://my.netgear.com/ and ask if this impression is correct.

The question remains why the current Netgear consumer router continues to generate a large number of false positives
I see very little in my Verizon edge router security logs. The logs in the Orbi behind it are filled with "attacks" - which I agree appear to be all false alarms.
It'd be good if Netgear invested in cleaning that up. A real attack would be impossible to spot with all the noise.

No OEM prividing CPEs to big ISP can provide such a ******.

Problem exists virtually for decades on almost all NTGR consumer routers - everything we've seen is always caused by return traffic (!!!).

Fixing such overly sensitive nonsense can be cost and time intensive, unlikley it will ever happen.

Correct. Discussed many times in the NTGE community and elsewhere. A reason I don't touch NTGR consumer routers with a ten-foot pole. It's extremely disappointing to find this rubbish was never fixed. Leaving alone discovering the product management does still play with essential features, so removing some randomly, breaking continuity in the user experience over the -same- product line like the RS routers, without appropriate declaration of all detailed features on the data sheeets for showing what makes up the differences (without having to compare all user manuals to the bits).
