If you suspect your router is rebooting due to DDOS attacks, then login to the http://orbilogin.net/debug.htm web interface and check the uptime reported.

Yes I did that and I believe it's definitely related time wise but will 1 to 3 dos attacks make the connection drop??

I monitor two Orbi systems that regularly log over 100 "DoS Attacks" every day. One of them just recently filled the log file every 3 minutes for 8 hours with DoS Attacks, and never went down. This was a sustained rate of 2-3 attacks logged per second for 8 hours.
I do not doubt that something is causing the Orbi to malfunction frequently, but I have serious doubts that a small number of "DoS Attacks" is the cause.

Not sure if its a Netgear thing or maybe a malfunction in the Router.- OrbiPhilipAug 09, 2020Luminary
Did you ever find a solution? I've been experiencing intermittent LOS for a week now. Assumed it was xfinity, but tonight I noticed a correlation between Orbi reporting a DOS attack and Nagios reporting loss of connectivity to CNN, Google, Etc.
Example:
