You can specify that logs are automatically sent by e-mail with these options:
•
Send alert immediately
. Select this check box for immediate notification of attempted
access to a blocked site or service.

weekly.
–
Time
. Specifies the time of day to send the log. Relevant when the log is sent daily or
weekly.
If you select the Weekly, Daily, or Hourly option and the log fills up before the specified
period, the log is automatically e-mailed to the specified e-mail address. After the log is sent,
the log is cleared from the router’s memory. If the router cannot e-mail the log file, the log
buffer might fill up. In this case, the router overwrites the log and discards its contents.
5.
Click
Apply
to save your settings.
So that the log entries are correctly time-stamped and sent at the correct time, be sure to set the
time as described in the next section.
Setting the Time
The wireless router uses Network Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain the current time and date from
one of several network time servers on the Internet. To localize the time for your log entries, you
must specify your time zone from the E-mail screen:
•
Time Zone
. Select your local time zone. This setting is used for the blocking schedule and for
time-stamping log entries.
•
Automatically Adjust for Daylight Savings Time
. Select this check box if your region
supports daylight savings time. The router will automatically adjust the time at the start and
end of the daylight savings time period.

the main menu of the browser interface.

Upgrading the Router Firmware
The routing software (also called firmware) of the WNR3500v2 router is stored in flash memory,
and can be upgraded as NETGEAR releases new software. Your router can download and install
the new software, or you can download upgrade files from the NETGEAR website and manually
send the upgrade file to the router using your browser.
Tip:
To ensure that you are always using the latest router firmware, enable the Firmware
Upgrade Assistant feature so that the router will automatically detect a new version
of the firmware on the Internet and alert you to its availability.
