Logs - NETGEAR MR814V2 User Manual

Logs

The Logs record various types of activity on the Wireless Router. This data is useful for trou-
bleshooting, but enabling all logs will generate a large amount of data and adversely affect
performance.
Since only a limited amount of log data can be stored in the Wireless Router, log data can also
be E-mailed to your PC.
