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.
