I bought a Synology router, it's got some nice security features -
although with the threat prevention tool, most of the attacks stopped
are attacks against the port they leave open for remote management.
It does have a nightly report that gets emailed that shows new devices
that connected in the last 24 hours - it's how I realized that iphones
and ipads by default randomize the MAC address.
