Netgear r7500 WLAN access rejected: incorrect security] from MAC address
I have just updated my Nighthawk router and I started to look more closely at the router logs and I have noticed this Warning? [WLAN access rejected: incorrect security] from MAC address ec:3d:fd:42...
You are correct about driving me crazy... I can't afford to get more gray hair! But, you are correct there are some options of what you want to log and I"ve started by turning everything off, then turn on one by one to see what kind of log it creates... I find objects like Magic Jack will have lots of hits...
Anyway, I'm going to slowly add what is to be logged and chase it down.. . I"m sure it will be a never ending process.. Thanks for your help...
Thanks, I have a new camera from SRIcam and for some reason it was trying to access my wifi, but I never set it to do that, nor does it have my password..... It is hard wired. So, I have contacted the company and I will proably have to reset the camera and start over.... I may have accedently turned on a wifi switch when I was setting it up... but I've pulled it off line until I get it squared away!
I have to stop looking at these logs, it drives me crazy. things like Magic Jack seems very active on my lan but I am guessing that it is talking to their servers to make sure I am connected. but there is so much activity that probably is just normal opperations.... but saying that with the days of all the hacking going on.... You can never be too carefull!
I am still learning and I appreciate your reply and others that may reply as well...
Thanks again for your help...

Glad you found the culprit. Reading the logs can drive you a little crazy. What doesn't help is that the messages are hard to understand by a layperson. Most messages are harmless but there are dangerous ones that require action.
If I recall, you have some control over which messages are logged. You can try turning off logging of harmless messages. That way, if you see anything, it will more likely to be something to be concerned about.
