It might help if you gave a bit more detail of what happened. Your first message is hard to follow.
What do you mean by:

Where do you see these connections?
Did you restart the network in the right order?
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:
- Turn off and unplug modem.
- Turn off router and computers.
- Plug in and turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
- Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes for it to connect.
- Turn on computers and rest of network.
What firmware version do you have on the device?
A number is more useful than "the latest". There may be newer versions, or "hot fixes", that do not show up if you check for new firmware in the browser interface.
If there is one it might also help if you told people the make and model number of the modem/gateway/ONT that sits between this router and the Internet. Is it, by any chance, also a router, with a set of LAN ports on the back?
I ask because a lot of people turn up here trying to put a router behind a modem that is also a router. That can complicate troubleshooting.

Re: Multiple connections to network
Al is working fine but the messages that unknowns people were connected to my network worries me.
So I was wondering if anybody else has had a similar experience. You get the felling you are hacked although the Netgear Armor says all is safe.

This explains some of the drawbacks.

Sorry, that means nothing to me. It is hard to read and I don't speak whatever language it is.
If there are devices that you do not recognise, you can try to track them down with their MAC addresses.

If you are worried ab out people accessing your wifi, then change the password and see if these unknown devices are still there. If so, they may be something on your network that you just don't recognise. In these days of IoT devices, all sorts of things can connect without you realising it.
