Getting E-Mail Notifications of Event Logs and Alerts

Your router will log security-related events such as denied incoming service requests, hacker

probes, and administrator logins, according to your settings on this screen.

If you have set up content filtering on the Block Sites page (see “Block Sites” on page 6-24), you

can also log when someone on your network tried to access a blocked site.

In order to receive logs and alerts by e-mail, you must provide your e-mail information in the

E-Mail Logs subheading:
