WAX615 AP - Syslog settings come back after reboot
I have a WAX 615 AP running V10.4.0.5 and cannot turn the remote syslog off.
The AP is PoE and managed directly via the WEB GUI.
Web GUI -> Management / Configuration / System / Advanced / syslog was used to set up a syslog server on 192.168.1.21 port 514 but the info I could get out of it was not worth the work filtering the debug messages etc. so I want to turn it off.
Unticking the 'Enable Syslog' and pressing apply clears the data from the GUI and stops the AP sending messages UNTIL the AP reboots - at this point, the settings revert back to 'on' and the IP / port are set up again.
This happens if I manually reboot or used the timed reboot.
Note I am having to reboot every couple of days due to Apple devices not connecting and the 5GHz network just randomly stopping (hence the syslog).
I'm not able to do a factory reset at the moment but think this could be my only option...

Hi ADB-UK,
I've tested this with an WAX615 (FW version 10.3.1.8 old version, now we're at version 10.4.1.7), setup Syslog, then rebooted the AP:
Then, disabled syslog, and rebooted:
It shows the details again, but it doesn't show as enabled.
I'll update the firmware and retest.. I'll update shortly.

Status update...
- AP is upgraded to latest FW 10.4.1.7.
- Enabled syslog, and rebooted.
- Disabled syslog, and rebooted.
- And, syslog is re-enabled:
I'll log a bug with the engineering team, to get this adjusted/resolved.
For now, I also tested this on FW 10.4.0.5, and issue is also present there.
I think, if you can leave it on for the time being, and once I have an update, I'll report it back here.
