Your router's syslog is supported by Wallwatcher (free). You should use it
to view the log in real time and also you can review previous logs as well.

Based on my knowledge of using a router and now a FW appliance, the syslog
is broadcasted on a port the router uses. The syslog can be broadcasted to
all machines connected to the router or you can specify a particular LAN
IP/machine that would have something like Wallwatcher listening on the
required port. Wallwatcher knows what port to listen on, which you'll see
the port, when you configure WW for your D-link

If you have a personal FW running on the machine that WW is running on, then
you need to open the inbound port on the FW to the router's Device IP.
