Suppress WAN lease logging

Installing and Using OpenWrt

Hello all,

I’m looking for guidance on where to suppress the logging of entries for a WAN DHCP lease renewal.
My ISP runs a 10 min lease renewal so the default setting results in the logs filling quickly and ultimately hiding important detail as they roll over.

Tue Feb 17 09:11:51 2026 daemon.notice netifd: wan (3009): udhcpc: sending renew to server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Tue Feb 17 09:11:51 2026 daemon.notice netifd: wan (3009): udhcpc: lease of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx obtained from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, lease time 600

I have tried altering the log levels of both netifd and odhcpd but I’m obviously looking in the wrong place as it appears to make no difference.

netifd_loglevel exists in snapshots, but not any of the stable branches. What version are you running?

Oh thanks, that’ll be why. I’m running 24.10.5.
Sadly the fix doesnt appear to have been included in the 25.12.x branch though.

I did already have the config/network global set to:

option netifd_loglevel '1'

But it made no difference…..
