Router just spontaneously rebooted.
Nice thing about syslog, it records it without having to rely upon the router's memory or sense of time to be correct. I found it interesting that the secondary reboot caused the router to have the EXACT SAME timestamp within the router from the previous reboot. The memory is corrupt or not saving correctly.

The timestamp on the left is the syslog-ng timestamp, the timestamp on the right is what the d-link router thinks it is. The left is correct since it can actually talk to NTP servers, the one on the right shows the dlink has alzheimer's.
I guess this is an improvement over having it lockup and forcing a powercycle...
Hardware is HW Ver: A1. I always factory reset on firmware upgrades, including disconnecting everything from the router except 1 computer which inputs the config from stratch. I've had too many issues with firmwares past 1.02 to take any chances.
