Orbi RBR850 E-Mail settings not working?
Orbi RBR850 E-Mail settings not working to send logs? I have gmail and I have yet to be able to have the Orbi email my logs - as I trouble shoot up and down connections in the past 24 hours. ...
Not sure if anyone else found a resolution to authenticating to gmail but here's what worked for me. Logs posted as well.
Primary E-mail address: your_email_address@gmail.com
Your Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.gmail.com
Outgoing Mail Server Port Number: 465 (587 would not authenticate, that is log entry 21:09:34
My mail server requires authentication: true, check the box
User Name: your_email_address@gmail.com
Password: This seemed to be the trick. Google requires a sort of secure 3rd party application authentication process. Go to your google settings > Security > App Passwords > Generate an App Password (Name it Orbi or whatever) and use this App Password for your Password.
