Logging for all products
I am really surprised and dissapointed that with routers today being quad core Netgear has not beefed up their security options in particular logging. Which such a heavy emphasis on cyber security th...
No leave email all together. format the logs into a parsable format and have options to export csv on a schedule to share or best allow them to be piped directly into a SIEM :)
also encryption i meant the connections. most providers require TLS or SSL. But they should move away from emailing logs all together. my provider happens to allow local up addresses only to send unencrypted only over 25 to local addresses only. but for the life of me i can’t even get that to work. i’m also not using orbi. i’m still on an older (updated firmware) c7000 gateway/router. Docsis 3.0 24/8 channels. does the job for the most part although my needs have changed.

The only SMTP server I found accepting local addresses is hotmail's and is working fine for me. If you don't already have a hotmail/live account you can create a free account and use it just to be able to make use of hotmail's SMTP server to send emails from your NG router to your preferred destination email address. This is how I configured Orbi to email Logs:
Wow, threads in this forum produce amazing discussions! Had not heard of a SEIM, and I wonder what the cost would be. My guess is 99% of Netgear residential customers never look at a log file. I am sending logs through smtp.gmail.com, port 465, which seems to be SSL. Maybe Netgear gives users a choice to smtp as plain text or encrypted based on the smtp server they specify?
I guess a .csv file could offer benefits over a text file. What sort of mechanism would people want Netgear to develop? Dump into a cloud service? (Drop Box, Google Drive, Apple/Microsoft (whatever?), etc.) Send to an FTP server?
