What happened to the log and Attached Devices
What happened to the log and Attached Devices. I had my router set to email me the list of attached devices every morning, but a couple of weeks ago it stopped including this list. What changed?
Sorry, misunderstood the question. After I had responded, I realized that my router is not getting the latest version when I ask it to check it self, so I did a manual check and found I was way behind. I have now installed 2,7,5,4, and I can see attached devices in the log again.
Problem solved.
Thanks.

Problem came back. I had my router RBR50 set to email me the list of attached devices every morning, but a couple of weeks ago it stopped including this list. This time, there are no new firmware updates to install. I have done a power cycle, manually uploaded the latest firmware and reset the router to default settings and restored my settings, but log is still only showing me logging in to try to solve this issue and some time syncs.

I am not aware of a feature to email a list of attached devices. Is this "literally" what was happening, or did you use a program to extract DHCP assignments from the Orbi log and compare the MAC address to a list in the database?
Approximately how many devices are connected to this Orbi system?
Strictly speaking, what it used to send was a list of all device connections since the last log 24 hours ago. So what seem to have stopped is the logging of a device connecting.

So are the logs being successfully sent from the RBR now? Even if you select the SEND button then check the log on the RBR to see if the log shows the log being sent successfully?
Does the router reporting any errors in emailing the logs to your email address.
Select the SEND NOW button in the log area then look at the results to see if there is any problems.What FW version is loaded?
What Orbi model do you have?

There are no errors logged. I have Known DoS disabled, so the only thing it typically sends are [remote login] and [Time synchronized with NTP server].
I have not made any changes to the internal firewall of the Orbi RBR50, so whatever it came with is still there.

My RBR50 stopped sending log files when v2.7.5.4 was released in Feb, 2023. I can send a log manually, but the automatic send function no longer works. Here's my setting:
I was a wee bit annoyed, having collected every log entry for four years. Was fascinating to see how the various DoS entries changed over time. Oh, well. Gone. Not coming back. Get over it.
