I had never used this either.  So being a noob to this and looking at the System Uptime, I have been out of the house for 3 hours.  Would this mean that the router rebooted 1:22 minutes ago?

Your numbers didn't come through, but yes, if you show 1:22 minutes up-time, that would mean that the system restarted 1 hour and 22 minutes ago, while you were away. 

 

Frankly, I suspect a lot of people who believe they have "no problems" are just missing the moments when their system reboots, if they aren't home, or aren't using Wi-Fi/network when it happens. It's easy to miss unless you are looking at the router or satellites while the reboot is happening, as you're only offline for a few minutes. Only way to be sure is look at the up-time info.
