Does a router store all ip addresses ever connected to it?

[Postcaveman]

I recently had a uncle of my fiance stay at the house for a few days because he is visiting from florida. Cool guy or at least i thought. About a week after staying here he up and left one day. Came home and found he left our house and we just thought he must have went back home. Later that night we find out that this grown man ran off with my whole Magic: the gathering collection that ive been playing since 2002. I know how to access my router and do all sorts of stuff on it. So my question is there a log for devices that have connected to your device from your home network. I need it for evidence purposes.

I have a Netgear N600 wireless router.
No vpn.

Ip addresses? NO, but if youre referring to mac address, with your router, it will.

Keep in mind that THE MODEM gives out IP ADDRESS to the devices being connected so it can broadcast signals. On the otherhand, devices have MAC ADDRESS which will be stored to the router's logs.

It might. Mine does, but deletes them after a while.
But all it saves is the IP address it gave out, 192.168.1.x, and the MAC address of the device.

Not much you can use for 'evidence'.

U need an expert on the N600 which I am not. Ask Netgear?

My guess is you are mostly S.O.L. home gears typically don'tt have this kind of capability vs business-class routers.
