        There is a dd-wrt log function that I think I have configured.
        It simply displays zilch. I remember that once with a different
        router also running dd-wrt it displayed data sporadically. I am
        coming to suspect it may be a compatibility problem with the
        Linksys E3000 which they should know about by now, however I've
        received no response to my query ...

        Done that, hoping for a response. Past experience indicates
        chances of finding a solution are better here.

        Presently I am reducing privileges via the router configuration.
        I don't think the kids iPhones need interconnection to our LAN.
        No doubt there will be complaints!
