Firmware updates very often make changes to the router log feature.  I do consider the enable/disable selection of events to be a configuration.  With different routers and different firmware updates, some of the events have become non functional.  How many versions of firmware did you jump from old to new?

 

Anytime you perform a firmware update and there are issues after the update, the first course of action should be a firmware default reset.  I know it is a PIA, but it has proven to be the most effective and efficient course of action to correct problems with a router.
