WGR614v2 doesn't send log Gregg Gerwitz 05-12-05

Hi folks,

I need a little bit of help. I have a WGR614v2 wireless router and
have it set up to e-mail alerts and logs to me. However, I never
receive any of them, even when I force a send of a log, or deliberatly
go to a site that would trigger an alert. I have my domain and e-mail
address set up properly I believe. Any ideas as to why I'm not
getting the messages?

Thanks for any input.
Gregg G.

Well, the usual screwup is if the SMTP mail server requires
authentication. That's your email address and password. I don't have
a WGR614v2 handy to check the settings. However, as I recall, there
is no setting on eMail page.

Pg 53. Yep. No way to authenticate outgoing email.

I can verify this. I even sent a message to Netgear about it, since most
ISPs are requiring authentication now (which is a good thing) to prevent
unknowns from using their services. The message I got back from Netgear is
that they don't plan to implement the feature. Guess I shoulda gone with
Linksys. Maybe next time.

wgr614v4_ref_manual.pdf for my WGR614v4 also doesn't show the
authentication options on the email page, but they are there on my router.

Send Alerts and Logs Via E-mail
Send To This E-mail Address:

I was successful in sending logs, but my ISP doesn't require authentication
from known IP addresses.

Lucky you. I have the WGR614v5. Your model v4 must have been changed in
the last firmware upgrade. I guess they forgot to carry it over to the
newest model.
