cannot email the log file, the log buffer might fill up. In this case, the
wireless modem router overwrites the log and discards its contents.
Log the Network Activity
A log is a detailed record of the websites that users on your network have accessed or
attempted to access. If you have set up content filtering on the Block Sites screen, the Logs
screen shows you when someone on your network tried to access a blocked site. If you have
email notification on, you will receive these logs in an email message. If you do not have
email notification set up, you can view the logs on the Logs screen.
To log the network activity:
1.
Select
Content Filtering > Logs
to display the Logs screen:

Selecting all check boxes will increase the size of the log, so it is good practice to disable
any events that are not really required.
