      From the Status > System Logs > Firewall, I'm wondering if there is a way to download the data to either a text file or spreadsheet file? I'm finding that a device with a certain IP address on my network has some outbound communication to another IP address that I would like to investigate. Any suggestions would be most helpful. Thanks.

        The log file is in /var/log/filter.log

        In Diagnostics > Command Prompt there you can find a download function, or you may use scp to copy it to another device.
