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.
