Mine is the model K. The technical manual doesn't mention SNMP anywhere.
The general manual mentions that the router knows a port on which snmp
trap is handled, but I have no idea, how. This is a bit confusing. Wish
they were more precise...

Gabriele:

I have examined the K model PDF and while it appears to have much functionality and looks
pretty good, It does not support logging to an external location. Only saving the logs kept
on the Router.

It is too bad this unit doesn't have Switched Ethernet ports since the WAN interface
supports very high speeds. Most SOHO Routers support 7~10Mb/s on the WAN.

| WallWatcher uses SNMP Traps as it is a SNMP Trap Receiver software. It will work with a
| Router that supports SNMP Traps and IPTables. The objective is to give the Router the IP
| address of the SNMP Trap Receiver which is in this case the PC that is hosting
WallWatcher.

| The manual for the model I looked at, BR-6104_M.pdf, did need support SNMP logging.

| | "supported" section. Trying to run wallwatcher with the default
| | settings, only results in an endless hourglass, obviously because the

| | know, if there is a router that has the same chip inside but is
| | supported, so that I can try the program?

If I understand correctly, this means, Wallwatcher can not catch the
info and display it. And the author cannot make it do so, as the router
isn't designed to do it. Alright, I can live with that.

Well, I've transferred several CD images from my old pc to the laptop
(for virtual cd use; they are all legit, read from the originals that I
bought), and the transfer speed IS fast; it didn't take longer than five
minutes per cd (and the hard disk has to keep up with writing).

I like this router, it seems to be very robust, and routes even when the
configuration interface (web page) cannot be accessed for some reason. I
just would like to know, *why* the config bails out every now and then.
But the routing itself is great - no stutters, disruptions or
communication problems, except when my ISP fails, like the day before
yesterday.
