Hi an thanx in advance for any help/advice you provide.
Please read my details and log. If you notice or think this is scripting software changing my router let me know, and please advise me what I should do to correct things, prevent it from occurring again, an steps to try an trace this to the person who did it. I did have a ex-house mate that broke into my room a couple times an could have possibly installed spyware.

My original network setup:
  • Arris DG1670A cable modem, originally set with dynamic routable IP (wan), and Lan ip of 192.168.0.1
  • SP-AC2015 asus wireless router. WAN 192.168.0.2 / LAN 192.168.27.1
  • My laptop ip 192.168.27.236 (hard wired [eth1])

Last night I wanted to check cable modem firewall but couldn't reach its LAN ip. Checked settings for Asus router and its WAN is now (somehow changed) a routable outside ip, which i didn't change. I'm guessing cable modem now bridged?
If my guess is correct, then I must reset the cable modem to log back in and see its settings. correct?
I copied the Asus log to a file to avoid it getting overwritten, and good thing i did because its different now. Maybe because I changed the admin password, not quite sure. I used a different computer to change the password.

Log when first checked (Asus router) last night:
  • first 6898 lines display "ntp: start NTP update"
  • Date range for first 6898 lines: Dec 7 to Dec 9, then date changes to Dec 1 and busybox launches
Hopefully someone can let me know whats happening here, and what I should do. And If this is foul play, can I do anything legally, if it can be traced to someone?

NTP messages seem to indicate it couldn't find the ntp server, which sets the correct time on the router. You might check your ntp settings to see if they are correct. Mine is pointed to pool.ntp.org.

There doesn't seem to be anything particularly alarming in the log file.

1. Yes your combo modem/router/Wi-Fi does now appear to be in bridge mode. Maybe your ISP pushed out an update?
2. It looks like the Asus router rebooted at 04:45:00 on Sunday 24th September 2017 and then spent the next 9 days failing to get the correct time from NTP.
3. The router was then rebooted at 20:08 on 3rd October and the time was updated successfully.
4. On October 5th at 20:06:59 it looks like somebody pressed the WPS button on the router. Trying to connect to the wireless using a PIN instead of a password?
5. On October 6th between 05:56:54 and 05:56:59 your PC (192.168.27.236) tried and failed to log into the router 80 times! This usually happens when you have changed the router's password but have an automatic password manager on your PC.
6. The cable modem was restarted 5 times on October 24 at about 09:51.

N.B. The SP-AC2015 might be different from the standard Asus configuration, but eth1 is normally the 2.4GHz wifi and eth2 the 5GHz. Wired connections are on br0. If you are connected to the router by Ethernet but have not disabled your laptop's Wi-Fi that would explain all the "received packet with own address as source address" messages as the PC flip-flops between the two connections.
