DoS and Reboots
Hi all,
Need some insight. Something I have never had an issue with before as started to peek with my new Orbi RBK50 system. I am frequently getting logs about DoS attempts, however, the router...
For sure, I had an RBK20W set before the RBK50. I never had any issues with it and have no doubt that if I had quick access to another set that it would be fine. Also, turns out that Target just let me return the product since it was 90 days within the purchase date. I did not want to ship it the device out at my expense for some amount of time. Rather, all Target had was the RBK20W in stock, so I just went back to that and saved 100 dollars. The RBK50 was truly over kill for my house anyway..I really wanted it for the upscale ethernet bridge over 5ghz :( ....can't really find that anywhere else that easy and price. It is for cameras. I ended up putting my 2.4ghz wireless ethernet bridge back in place to feed the camera switch. There just aren't too many systems consumer wise that have the dedcated backhaul. Thank you for your replies.
Router Firmware Version
V2.3.1.44
ZHONE...wait..just reading the rest of your post..this isn't going to help in my situation. I am an IT guy, so I understand how this stuff works..just not why the devices are rebooting when my previous ones were not on the same ISP/modem. I am on fiber 500/500.
When the system reboots, it is pulling a different WAN address (I've checked) simply because it rebooted and, being residential service, I'm not paying for a static address.I've already checked out where those attacks are coming from, but it's not really anything I can use with the Orbi system... I saw the main hits coming from Canada and some from New Jersey USA.
This has happened across mutiple firmwares on this system.
Have you factory reset the RBR and setup from scratch since you updated to v44? Try this.
Might try upgrading to v60.
Again, contact your ISP.
I believe I tried factory reset and set back up from scratch, but I suppose I can try it again on the newer firmware.
I don't believe calling my ISP is going to help, though (I work closely with this ISP as part of my job since quite a few of our cilents have their business class service). They can't stop people from doing that and it'll happen no matter what ISP you have. The IPs that hit me change..I don't game or anything that would target me. They would just point me to my own equipment since my only issue is that the RBR50 is randomly rebooting during this and if I use another router, it does not happen. I do appreciate your feedback and responses you have provided and I will keep trying to figure something out. I am going to try and remove the dynamic DNS as well as port forwards for any cameras I have setup to see if that helps (but have always had this in my previous systems).
Let us know how it goes with the changes.
Any progress on this?

I upgraded to firmwarwe V2.3.1.60 from V2.3.1.44 and did manually removed/re-added the satellite of my RBK50 system and haven't had a reboot since "[Initialized, firmware version: V2.3.1.60] Friday, May 03, 2019 20:05:49"
I did not do the factory reset and scratch setup yet. Just want to wait out and see if I get more reboots at this point :)
