Log output width

Log output width

When viewing the logs on the router interface, the width is limited to 57 characters on my system.

 

1. is there any way to make it wider so that each record takes up one line ?

2. any way to increase the NTP lookup period.  currently seems like 15min. which is very short.

3. does it need to show the IP address at every NTP lookup ?

 

thanks , still getting used to a router with useful features.

A very strange default for the Web UI Logs view - you can adjust it manually with your mouse/pointer by dragging the edge of the logs frame bottom right...

It's not a very smart idea to poll the NTP every 15 minutes - very easy to get complaints from the public NTP operators. Beyond, it's not user adjustable at all - appears Netgear does not trust much on your router model software clock...

Of course, showing the IP along with the log entry is mandatory. What is the point for not including the IP address there? Some router admins query by a domain, e.g. from the pool.ntp.org regions.
