One thing I can think of is memory constraints, possibly for the older routers that are still supported?
I tried reading through the logs from the GUI, it maxes out at 11 or 12 pages. I don't know about you guys, but 11 or 12 pages is about 3-4 minutes of uptime, kind of hard to look back when it is overwritten so quickly. _________________ Tutorial for flashing WRT series WRT Installation,Upgrade & Basic Setup–Cliff Notes

The WRT1200AC has 512MB of RAM which in normal use is 2% used; so let's log away. The WRT1900AC models have at least 256MB of RAM. Kong normally provides the SYSLOG tab. It is not there on the BS builds. For example, all the Kong builds for Netgear based routers (like R6250, R6300v2) have the tab for SYSLOG. It is a useful function. This would be a nice to have.
There is also a ton of flash space on these newer NAND-based routers. I'd love to see builds that include all the stuff built into busybox for example. There is so much there but it is disabled in the config file. Why not enable all these goodies on the MVEBU routers and other big ones like the RT-AC68U and friends?
Would be cool if BS and Kong could add in the Syslog tab under Status. Syslog works fine, all that is needed is the tab for it in the GUI. THANK YOU!
