I'm looking for a wireless router that can email traffic logs on a periodic basis. I've had no luck with this... I can't believe that this isn't a more common feature.

The only router I've found so far to do this is the NetGear WGR614. Unfortunately, the WGR614 is a piece of crap. :oP Based on the reviews I've read, I'd say it has about a 50% defect rate. But it was the only one I found that could email logs, so I tried it out anyway. And whatdyaknow... mine's defective.

Another one of the problems I had was finding a router that allowed for authentication. I had an older Netgear router (which worked fine, btw) that had "email traffic log" options, but it didn't have anywhere to put in authentication for the mail server, so the email with the log would never get sent.

So if anyone has experience with a reliable router that they know for a fact can email its traffic logs, then please (oh please, oh please) let me know.

BTW the 50% defect rate you quoted sounds to me to be too excessive. The industry norm is about 3 to 5%.

yeah... I posted it at multiple forums. Is that new? Especially since I have yet to get an answer from any one of the five different places that I posted it at.

And no, the "50% defective rate" is not at all "excessive". I don't think it's statistically "50%" (we are allowed to generalize to make a point), but it's no where near 3-5%. Check out the reviews at NewEgg and Amazon. Read them your self. A disturbingly large portion of the posts are from people complaining about dropped connections or the router dying after a few months.
