Hi there, thanks for the kind pointers.
So if i want to use the default log (which I can view using "show log") what options should I use?

If you want to watch traffic, "tshark" is available from the root shell. Once you've run logged in as root, try tshark -i eth0 -n port 80 (assuming you want to monitor interface eth0). This will let you see all your web traffic. A lot of TCP retransmissions would be a sign of dropped packets somewhere along the path. Personally, I monitor the router with MRTG from http://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg/ . Others prefer other monitoring tools, such as Cacti (http://www.cacti.net/).
