DHCP requests not logged

So I have been experincing what another users has been experincing as well starting last year.

 

https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/DHCP-requests-not-logged-consistently/m-p/1871331

 

Like him if I go to the Advanced -> Setup -> LAN Setup page and click Apply (without changing anything) it will start logging again.

 

Thing is that even on a reboot its still not fixed. Anyone find a solution on this. I see that there is a new firmware updated for my rbk23 but the last few firmwares did not fix this for me.

    (I aplolgize for this seeming silly, but can you check on the Advanced Tab, Administration, Logs, to see if the Log Wireless Access is checked? (see attached image)

     

    I found a post from March, 2019. Message 25 of the thread talks about this feature.

    I also see suggestions about:

    • Making a backup copy of the Orbi Config
    • Doing a Factory Reset
    • As soon as possible in the setup, restoring that Config, which will cause a reboot.
      (In other works, do not set anything you don't have to because loading the saved config will just wipe it out.)
