Help With This Log Message

[OKLY]

Hi all, I need help understanding this message. I was previously on an AC56U with 380.70 and did not encounter this message in my logs until I changed to an AC86U with 384.60 today.

Could be a flaky device plugged into your router. Check the cable and the device plugged into port 0. Sometimes these occur when a device powers down during powersave and comes up. What devices do you have plugged directly into the router?

When you mention powersave, suddenly it makes sense. It is actually a powerline ethernet adapter to wire another device from another room to the router. I guess the adapter has some powersave mode.
