Resolved Question

Home wireless router export logs

Mar 4, 2017 11:50AM PST

Hello! Does anyone know of a newer router that allows the direct exportation of logs into a client such as Link Logger? I used to be able to do that with a Linksys router, but unfortunately the new web interface does not allow this particular type configuration. I have tried researching this but am having trouble finding this specific information.

Since Link Logger uses SNMPTrap or simply SNMP

I have only recently purchased this router. It functions well as a router but the web interface the company provides is too limited to do what I want/need it to do. I am not technically savvy enough to trust myself to set up the DD WRT on my own without killing the router Sad However, I have learned that this specific model can be purchased already flashed for DD WRT. So, that is likely what I will do...purchase one this same model and return the one I have now for a refund. I thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question!

Hook up the old linksys router

from LAN port to it's WAN port and run things through the old router too. Then you have same capability back. Also can help keep your ISP from accessing your home LAN, which Verizon FIOS and their ActionTec routers can do.
