Hi Chap - no need to read anything into this, it’s just for the developers in case we ever need info like that from our users.

What does this message in the log file mean? There are hundreds all for the same device, an Amazon Echo. 

 

[DumaOS] Marking device that is marked 192.168.1.8 6 8., Friday, May 18, 2018 19:32:38

Unless you set up DHCP reservation a device will be assigned an IP address by the router, do you know what device 192.168.1.8 is? Even though logs are for 'developers' thats not the case always as some parts are useful for us users too ;) Maybe a friend came round and you let them log onto maybe the guest account, or you bought a new device etc that device will be given an IP by the router, always good to check in case someone has piggy backed on your router, but with a good strong password (not the original if possible) and changing the SSID to something more unique helps. Just check have devices IP addresses if you are unsure. It probably means simply a device has been given that IP address when it logged onto your network I would imagine.

Im getting this every 15 minutes for a single IP address, the device that DHCP has given the IP address to is a Nintendo Switch

I'm also getting [Internet Connected] every 15 minutes, ISP lease time on my WAN IP is 30 mins, so seems to be twice as often as it should be

sorry to necro a thread :D

Are you receiving any issues such as internet disconnects that accompany these log entries?

In that case I'd leave it as it is for now, if it's not broken don't fix it! There's a possibility you could do more harm than good trying to resolve something that isn't presenting any issues.

I think you're running into the same issue as I am. ISP lease time on my WAN IP is 2 hours. DHCP renewal is at half time : 1 hour. Every time the IP is renewed the router resets all connections (wired & wireless). You can even notice it in the LAN statistics; the uptime if the wired interfaces are reset to zero.

Deactivate the IPv6 stack in the Advanced Settings if you don't need IPv6 at all.

It solved my issue with these disconnects.
