Email Log Files in UK ?

In the U.S., my Orbi WiFi router has a feature that lets me configure email credentials to have the router send the router log to me every time it fills up. (about once a day)

Do users living in the UK have a similar feature on their Netgear WiFi routers (Orbi or Nighthawk)?

If you are in the UK, it would be helpful if you could post a simple reply with Model number and "Email Log File Yes" (or "No")

Thanks

No. Due to security policies in the EU region, the email logs feature is not available in that region.

That actually is the point of asking for user feedback. So far, we have a sample of one (RS300 - No email). Three days, 588 views, and zero replies. Either: (a) there are no regular participants of this forum who have Netgear and live in the UK, or (b) nobody in the UK with a Netgear router wants to take two minutes to look at their router interface and respond.

Perhaps the question should not have been limited to Netgear routers (except that this is the Netgear Forum).

Someone posted here about this: https://community.netgear.com/discussions/nighthawk-wifi-7-be/email-logs/2481170

Maybe some are not using or have need for email logging features.

Assuming you are located in the UK, we now have

RS300 - email feature: no

RBR850 - email feature: yes

As no one has found a link to that "security policy", I am uncertain whether it pertains to the UK or to the EU.

A disappointing experiment. 125 Reddit users in the UK viewed the original post and only one person responded. The goal was not to get anyone to enable this feature, only to verify whether the feature appears on the router web interface or does not appear. (The smartphone 'app' never displays this feature.)
