OK, I've got a:
RT-AC68P router.
It seems to have gotten worse lately with the issue which is:
Devices (not NEW ones, one that have been on and are on my network for some time) will no longer get a DHCP IP from the router. For example, my desktop (I shut it off at night, but it's on every day), suddenly can't get on the network (same with wireless devices like my iPhone if I'm returning home). I'm unable to login to the Admin GUI (the login page comes up but you enter your credentials and it just sits there and eventually times out). I'm using two other routers (different models) from ASUS as Access Points.
If I power cycle the router, all is well again.
It did this like a year ago and only to find out I'd run out of IP's (OK THAT I can understand) as I have my LAN setup as:
10.10.x.x/255.255.0.0 network starting DHCP at: 10.10.1.25 - 10.10.1.250 (originally I'd had it 10.10.1.50 - 10.10.1.150).
Anyway, lately it's been doing this about every 3-4 weeks.
My signature version is: 2.226 Updated : 2021/04/16 02:00
My Firmware version is: 3.0.0.4.385_20632-gfc5326d
Ideally I'd like to figure out what's going on, but when I check the logs, there's nothing really to see that I can tell. For example, it last did this on 4/13/21 sometime between say 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p .m.
The logs are weird. I say that because it's like:
Feb 9 11:49:06 syslog: WLCEVENTD wlceventd_proc_event(500): eth2: Auth 4C:17:44:3D:E6:93, status: Successful (0)

I'm THINKING the fast forward in time is the router booting up and then getting current date/time from NTP?
IF that's the case, then 4/13 is when it last had issues, I see a bunch of "May 5" stuff right before that, and right before that is 4/5/21 stuff, so that would mean that sometime between 4/5 and 4/13 it had issues (although given my PC daily startup was fine until 4/13 when PC #2 couldn't get DHCP)...
It *seems* symptomatic of when I had Time Warner/Road Runner (I have Verizon FIOS now) where their cable modem/router (this was a LONG time ago) had a hard-coded 6 MAC address or something and the table would fill up and you'd have to power cycle to get rid of old/stale entries.
Is there a way to enable better/debug logging? I suppose I could leave my regular PC on all the time and have it function as a syslog server.
Thanks for any ideas/suggestions.
