Detect Abnormal Logins at...

[rdsouza]

When I bought the RT-AC68P, I set it up and upgraded firmware to 3.0.0.4.376_3626. I have noticed that the system log constantly says " Detect abnormal logins at...". The IP address it complains about is the IP of my desktop pc. Does anyone know what might be causing this? I also noticed that this causes the desktop pc to wake up when I try to put it in sleep mode.

It means you have something on your desktop scanning port 80 on either your entire LAN, or at least the router itself. The router will log such connection access to its webui interface.

So this is caused by something running on your desktop.

Thank you for your quick response... Is there a way to find out what might be scanning port 80? Is there any tool available?

Not really, you will have to review what's running on your PC. Could be a network security scanner, for instance.

Try a decent Firewall like ZoneAlarm. I'm partial to the older versions like 10.2.102

Issue fixed! It was the updated driver for the NIC. I noticed that the Wake on Lan was set to "Wake on Magic Packet and Directed". I changed it to "Wake on Magic" and that fixed it!
