R7960P Changed firmware due to security concerns. Now I'm even more worried. Can someone look at the logs?
I changed firmware. I thought I had the newest but the site said there was a newer firmware so I went to go upload it and the router told me the version I had was more up to date. Regardless of that I did an update. Okay.... so at first when I logged into the router the other day I saw a dev device connected and an unknown. Soon after that my connection was killed and I had to log back in. When I did those were gone. So today I log in and started recording the logs. Boom, my internet goes out and connection to router dies. What's weird is when I sign back in the NTP server had changed to another time zone. Super odd. Anyways. I normally see the false positives. But I actually have flood attacks. Also, whenever I go to a site it won't load the first time then it loads. It's odd. Can someone look at my logs? I have a new orbi I should just put in. Also thinking about PFsense or if the orbi has bitdefender I'll use.

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?Do you have any Apple devices, if so, disable the WiFi Private IP Address feature on these devices while at home. This feature when enabled will appear as a "DEV" or unknown device on the routers web page. This feature randomizes the MAC address on Apple devices. Thus causing the router to display a unknown or DEV host name.
