I've already restarted the router which assigned a new IP address to me. Any idea/suggestion. I understand they are attempts but it's screwing with my internet.
I have been saving my Orbi log since last March, and do not notice that the number of what Orbi labels "DoS Attempts" has changed much. It would be helpful if you can explain how the log entries correlate with specific internet problems. i.e. is the web browser unable to connect at certain times which correspond to a log entry? Do video streaming artifacts (pixellation, buffering, etc.) correspond with log entries?
At my work, we used to log millions of these attempts every day. I do not notice any performance problems with my system.
