- If it's no big deal, why is it logged? With so much "noise" it's hard to see teal problems.
- Welcome to the internet!
That said, a portscan isn't a DoS attack. This has been brought up in numerous posts. One of which is here:

Basically to sum up it's nothing to worry about and it's traffic on the web where people are port scanning for vunerabilities. The router is doing it's job by blocking it.
