Intrusion Warning On F2000 Router

    Hi.

    Noticed today on my home broadband that the modem/router kept restarting itself.  This started about around 7:45 in the morning.  (Continous beeping from connected phone handset woke the house up). From then on the router was either restarting itself or there was no internet connection even though wifi was still broadcasting to my devices.

    When I looked at the logs I noticed a regular "DSL connection is deactivated" message but then noticed two separate security warnings saying "Intrusion -> ...." as in the screenshot attached.

    Might be nothing but strange that started having broadband issues after this time. 

    I've since disconnected the router and gone back to an old router I have here for the time being.

    Anybody else seeing this on their router or know if it means there was an actual security issue with somebody connecting to the modem from outside?
