I have an RT-AC68U on 384.17 and seems like once a month this will happen:

Internet drops and the router does a full reboot. I see a couple things that stick out but I don't know if they are the main cause.
 
Bad blocks are fairly common with this NAND type, nothing abnormal there. That's why the flash has a badblock table to map these out.

All your log indicates is your router was rebooted.
 
Lines 96-143 are probably a clue, but a clue to “what” eludes me. o_O
 
You're both right and I've checked the longer log for the whole day and don't know why it randomly reboots. This has happened two previous times like 1-2 weeks between each occurance. There were no "signs" leading up to the reboot. It just happens during normal use. It's connected to a power strip that also powers our ATT Gateway and Fiber box and neither of those rebooted or had any issues.

What do I do? Since I haven't been able to narrow down the issue through the log files should I try a full reset and firmware update? I believe there are several ways to go about this...
 
should I try a full reset and firmware update?
That's never a bad option. May help, may not, but at least you know it will be "clean" starting point to potentially troubleshoot further.
 
I would disable firewall logging. This puts an unnecessary strain on your router.
