What router model do you have?

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

 

 

Is  the Guest Network enabled by chance? 192.168.2.x is usually a device that's connected to the Guest Network.

 

Do you have the time set up right on the router?

    There's no modem it's using PPPoE through the building I live at, and the 192.168.2.0/24 subnet is my primary network. I just set it up that way.

      Check your devices for MAC addresses against what you see in the logs.

        Those are all good.  Matching for just the 4 or 5 devices I have connected to the two interfaces on Netgear.  No more no less.

         

        Do you any idea why the 2024 date would have appeared in my logs?
