Re: Stay away from Netgear. Far away.

There is no way to change the default port on the WNDR4300 either. All it asks for is the server address. I was rather frustrated after I learned that knowing full well that port 25 was not an option. I tried the : specification on the server name - and it worked.

Might be worth a shot to try it.

Well you specify the server and port address in the client when you set up the email account.

Doesn't work with the R6300, tried that first, confirmed by Netgear "Support".

The specific functionality in question here is the router's ability to support logging via email. In this case, the *router* is the client.
