WAX615 - Syslog settings come back after a reboot

I have a WAX615 running the latest firmware (V10.4.0.5) that has an issue with Apple devices and also occasionally drops the 5GHz network.

I turned on syslog in the web GUI but the quality / quantity of messages sent (esp debug messages that should not be still seen on a live box) was ridiculous and did not really help me track either issue down so I disabled it again.

Unfortunately I found that after a reboot (either manual or automatic) the syslog settings are reapplied and messages start again.

Other than trying a full system reset does anyone have any ideas how to keep them off but allow the reboots to occur?

  • If you want to prevent the syslog settings from being reapplied after a reboot on your WAX615,you can try the following steps :

    1. Log in to the web GUI of your WAX615 router.
    2. Navigate to the syslog settings section or any related section where you enabled syslog.
    3. Look for an option that allows you to save or apply settings permanently or disable automatic reapplication after a reboot.
    4. If such an option is available, deselect it or make sure it is disabled.
    5. Save or apply the settings to ensure the changes take effect. Fragomen Connect Portal 

    If there isn't a specific option to disable automatic reapplication of syslog settings after a reboot, you might need to explore other advanced settings or configurations available in the router's interface. Check for any settings related to startup or boot configurations that could be causing the syslog settings to be reapplied.

    If none of these options are available or effective, you may consider contacting the manufacturer's support or consulting their documentation for further assistance. They should be able to provide more specific guidance on preventing syslog settings from being reapplied after a reboot on your WAX615 router.
