Router log alert messages

I agree that a simple explanation of router log messages would be really useful, especially for users who want to understand what's happening on their network without having to research every technical term separately.

ACK generally means a TCP acknowledgment, while RST indicates that a TCP connection is being reset. Neither message automatically indicates an attack; their meaning depends on the surrounding traffic and connection context. Port scans can also generate these types of entries.

It would be helpful if NETGEAR documented the common log messages, explained the alert levels, and included examples of normal activity versus events that might require investigation. That would make troubleshooting much easier for ordinary users.
