Linksys WRT Products running SveaSoft Alchemy/Talisman Firmware
Link Logger Set Up
NOTE the default Linksys firmware does not support
external logging tools as Linksys disabled that functionality within
their firmware so you must run a third party firmware such as
HyperWRT or
Sveasoft
or other similar third party firmware in order for your Linksys to
support external logging tools like Link Logger.

FAQ for Install Issues
-
If Link Logger stops logging check to see if the
IP address of the logging system has changed as sometime the
DHCP will assign a new IP address to the system running Link
Logger and hence will not receive the logging information.
-
If you get an error when starting Link Logger, please make sure that
you don't have other logging software running when you start Link
Logger, as only one application can process Syslog messages at a
time.
-
If Link Logger doesn't work and your running
ZoneAlarm or any similar product please ensure that it is allowing
communication between Link Logger and your Linksys Router.
Link Logger does attempt to ping your router on startup, and your
Linksys Router sends its logging information to Link Logger via
Syslog messages (UDP port 514). If the ping is blocked then
Link Logger displays a message stating that it couldn't communicate
with the Router. If the Syslog messages are blocked then
Link Logger doesn't log anything as it doesn't receive any logging
information.

Link
Logger does have an uninstall program for easy removal. You
can remove Link Logger using 'Remove Programs' in the Windows
Control Panel.
