attempted access to a blocked site or service.
• Send Logs According to this Schedule. Specifies how often to send the logs:

sent weekly or daily.
- 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 Wireless Router’s memory. If the Wireless 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.

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 Zone
The WNR1000v3h2 router uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain the current time
and date from one of several network time servers on the Internet. Localize the time zone so
that your log entries and other router functions include the correct time stamp.
To verify and set the time zone (see Figure 6 on page 46):
• Time Zone. To select your local time zone, use the drop-down list. This setting is used for
the blocking schedule and for time-stamping log entries.
• Automatically Adjust for Daylight Savings Time. If your region supports daylight
savings time, select this check box. The router will automatically adjust the time at the
start and end of the daylight savings time period.
