OK, KOD time I'm sure
Have done a factory reset and rebult the Orbi from scratch. So far....... Whatsapp is NOT disconnecting and I have been on a call for over 30min. This has NEVER happened before, so that's progress
Still cannot get logs emailed to me or setup DDNS

What sort of error message is generated when the email parameters are tested?
Which DDNS service was selected?
Email log error is
[email failed] Polite people say HELO first, Friday, Jan 07,2022 16:31:39
Will try different email accounts shortly....
Just tried Gmail, using smtp.gmail.com and port 587, and error is "[email failed] -5.7.9 Application-specific password required". Have TRIPLE checked the email address and password are 100% correct
Anyone get email logs working and/or DDNS?
Searching for "smtp Polite people say HELO" turned up a bunch of possibilities.
The most obvious is this case where the email domain name was incorrect:

Computers are so picky.
LMAO - yep, I know what can cause that. However 100% not incorrect username/email address, port or password
IF, the oruter is sending across a malformed request that can also return this tyoe of error

Strange. My smtp.gmail.com uses port 465. apparently there is some arcane difference between 465 and 587.
Yep, SMTP was never designed to last as long as it has and should have been binned years ago (haters don't give me a hard time as I'll just ignore your ready wit)
Using smtp.gmail.com and port 465 or 587
Deliberately used wrong password
[email failed] -5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted.
Correct password
[email failed] -5.7.9 Application-specific password required

The outgoing SMTP server, smtp.gmail.com, requires TLS. Use port 465, or port 587 if your client begins with plain text before issuing the STARTTLS command.
