At the end of my rope with my Orbi
Have been working with support to no avail. It goes like this. Orbi directly connected to my modem fills it log files with DoS Attack: ARP Attack] from source: xx.14.79.65, Monday, January 23, 2017...
I disabled the logging of those issues and just keep track of the system related ones. If it's rejecting attempts, it's working as it should.
You are worrying about some DoS/ARP Attack warning logs in your router? that's completely usual these days, almost everyone gets those every once in a while, I would worry if my router never warned me about those, does it bother you to see the logs? disable logs then, your Obi is doing exactly what it is supposed and designed to do.
Thanks for all your comments. While at the highest level I get it and thats what support is yackign about I would like it to make sense and I guess its just never goiing to. Let me be clear when my 7000 is the router alone with my modem and everything is connected exact.ly the smae way nothing in the log files for attacks. When you connect orbi it is attacked hundreds of times per hour all day long which does seem at times to effect performance. When you pur the orbi behind the 7000 again nothing in the 7000 or the orbi log files. IT doesnt make sense all things being equal. As I mentioned tried new ip addresses etc my casble company has been very accomodating in trying to help but has given up. They were concerned becasue all teh attacks appear spoofed from them thats teh trace on the ip but they say they are nto doing anything. Thanks.
Apologies for my quick reply and spelling mistakes!
