+WARNING: Something in the below installed programs will ShitCan a WRT1900ACS.  WRT32X and WRT3200ACM are fine.  It's grep.  Installing grep destroys the OpenWRT install. WTF?  Seems like a defective package.  Double checked and it isn't the dependency (libpcre) and is indeed the GREP Package.  And it's the same package across the entire WRT / AC Series.
+Well, the good news is that the 21.02.1 version of OpenWRT has GREP 3.6.1, and it works fine.  Oh, this was about the 19.07.0-8 series of OpenWRT.  Now why would one be using the 19.x series in late 2021.  Well, that's because of the busted ass crap in OpenWRT 21.02.1.  Go ahead, install BIND / NAMED in the 21.02 series.  There's more crap in there too.  And they're still rocking the 5.28 version of PERL (woof) for OpenWRT 21.02.1.  Really?  OK, enough of the complaining.  How much does OpenWRT cost?  Yup.  They're working hard to make a great product (with some flaws).  And now you know some of the flaws.

+If GREP is desired, then download and install the 21.02.1 version: https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/21.02.1/packages/arm_cortex-a9_vfpv3-d16/packages/grep_3.6-1_arm_cortex-a9_vfpv3-d16.ipk
 Remember, some of these utilities are the ''full'' version of the utility.  A smaller / 'neutered' version of the command / utility may be included within the BusyBox software (again, look it up).
