Logs

The Logs record various types of activity on the Broadband Router. This data is useful for
troubleshooting, 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 Broadband Router, log data can
also be E-mailed to your PC.
