 ===Check logread after all changes===
-If things fail, you might not know about it unless you read the logs (See note about static dhcp leases). So logread before exiting all routers. See also uci show <file> which will test the syntax of a file. https://forum.openwrt.org/t/config-file-syntax-check/147132  This is also a way to get the UCI commands, which are in the docs online.
