Something or someone trying to telnet into my router??

Looks like it but look at the date.. year 2000. I would set the correct date and reset the device and check then.

what has the date got to do with it?

It was around 6am if somehow the time helps?

That's just that the router hasn't synced (yet) with a time server and is using 'Time 0'.

long memory..... I remember that until the mode syncs the time or has a correct time you had these types of funnies. I may be wrong but worth a punt...
