such as these logs .  they continiue to grow larger and speeds get slower all day.  Netgear support is no help and the firmware they promised would help manage such issues doesn't seem to be coming . . The QoS feature is broken.  How can I fix this?

    That IP address belongs to Amazon:

    https://whois.domaintools.com/34.230.89.123

     

    Have you fully rebooted the router and or do a ERASE on it and set it up from scratch?

    Whats the Mfr and model # of your ISP modem? 

     

    Besure none of your devices are acessing and amazon services. Disconnect ALL devices accept for 1 wired PC and check speeds and connection and the log. Graduate adding one device at a time until you notice something...

    Firewall and logging is doing it's job...just reporting what the router is encountering.

      But once they start my wifi speeds are cut in half.. this never happened in the old firmware... Not sure what exactly changed but the other problem is I can't go back because my homekit was broken in those old ones.

        You need to find out if something on your LAN side is accessing those IPs. If your echos are then turn them off and test to see if it still happens or not. If not and you turn them ON again and it does, something in the Amazon services or in the FW needs to be looked at.

  • Hello all - I must say I am sick of these DoS attacks from variety of sources.

     

    Have since sent emails (with details) to their "abuse" emails, etc.

     

    Very large number from Amazon Technologies (!) and Lime Light Networks

      hmmm....remembered that I had an "old" AWS Linux instance running.

       

      10 minutes ago, I shut it down.

       

      No more DoS attacks - from any source.

      If I filter just for DoS, Logs are Empty now! 

       

      Whee!
