If you select the Weekly, Daily, or Hourly option and the log fills up before the specified period, the log is automatically emailed to the specified email address. After the log is sent, the log is cleared from the router’s memory. If the router cannot email the log file, the log buffer might fill up. In this case, the router overwrites the log and discards its contents.
