For a permanent record of these logs, Logviewer software must be used. This
software is downloadable from the Linksys website at www.linksys.com. The
Logviewer saves all incoming and outgoing activity as a permanent file on your
PC’s hard drive. Next to “Send Log to”, enter the fixed IP address of the PC
running the Logviewer software. The Router will now send updated logs to that
PC.
To clear any values you’ve entered on any page, click the Cancel button. To
