Send Log to For a permanent record of these logs, Logviewer software must
be used. This software can be downloaded from the Linksys website,
www.linksys.com. The Logviewer saves all incoming and outgoing activity as a
permanent file on the hard drive of the PC running the Logviewer software. In
the Send Log to field, enter this PC's fixed IP address. The Router will now
send updated logs to this PC.
Temporary logs can be accessed from the Log screen by clicking either the
Incoming Access Log or Outgoing Access Log button. The Incoming Access
Log gives you a log of all the incoming Internet traffic while the Outgoing
Access Log lists all the URLs and IP addresses of Internet sites that users on
your network have accessed.
