Monitoring WAN Status

kenw

Hi:

I have an SG-1100 with Release 24.03 connected to internet using a Netgear CM600 cable modem. My problem is that the internet connection drops and is recovered intermittently with the cable modem rebooting. I'm looking for way to monitor and/or record when the connection is down using system logs and/or traffic graphs. If you can help, please be specific as to which logs and/or graphs and what to look for.

Thanks in advance.

The gateway monitoring should detect that. If the gateway still shows as up when other connections fail then set the gateway monitoring IP to something external like 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1:
