Does it surprise me that you can turn off logging? No. Does it surprise you that some routers have no capabilities for providing historical logs of previously attached devices, only a DHCP client list of currently attached devices?
Maybe we are misunderstanding each other. I, along with others, asked for proof that he could obtain five years worth of historical data from "any router anywhere anytime". I do not dispute that some routers contain fantastic logs. I am fully aware that some routers will maintain these logs, and even email them to the administrator when the log reaches a specified size, or at specified time intervals. Some routers have fantastic capabilites. But I am also aware that some cheaper routers have almost no logging capabilities. I would like to see someone pull five years of logs from a $20 router from Walmart.
The part of his claim I asked for proof of was the "ANY router" part.
