A few weeks ago (I don't know if it coincides with a failed attempt at upgrading my RT-AC88u firmware), I've been seeing a strange IP address in my routes when not using a VPN.
I successfully upgrade to 384.7.2 on Sunday
The VPN is run via the OpenVPN software on the clients. There is no router configuration for VPN because some clients do not use the VPN. So it's just the OpenVPN software with a configuration file provided by the VPN company.
The WAN light is solid red. I only noticed this 24 hours ago. It may have started when I upgraded but I don't think so. I walk past the router everytime I go downstairs so I would have noticed it if it was on earlier. However, the internet is connected fine. I am getting typical up/down speeds.
The NTD has all green lights. No issues there.
Now, here;s a typical route...
You can see the 10.20.21.13 address as the second hop.

My ISP is blaming my router. Could it be?
