Was my router hacked

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?
Possible some glitch in the router logging system. Anything is possible sometimes.
I presume you have the NTP feature enabled and set correctly?
This doesn't really add to my understanding of what happened. If the log glitch happened during a system crash, are you saying that both the router would go OFFLINE and I would lose connection with all devices, but then somehow the log glitch doesn't show any record of anything before? That is what I am so suspicious about. Can you please comment on the small chance that the device could have been breached and whether there's any real evidence for me to consider a factory reset on my router device?
