Found it under the logs. Well that worked perfectly!!!! All the issues are now gone and internet is back to normal. Netgear must not have a very good QA dept if they’re releasing firmware like this.

The option to disable DoS protection and port scan is under Advanced -> Setup -> WAN setup and tick “Disable Port Scan and DoS protection”. I did this and it fixed most of the problem for me. Sometimes when I’m downloading and saturating my bandwidth my wifi still crashes for a little bit but in a normal scenario it works fine for now. Definitely not ideal but definitely usable. 

If you just unticked “Known DoS attacks and port scans” under the logs page, then I don’t think you disabled the actual protection but just the logging of those attacks. Interesting that it works just as well as what I did though, I will try that aswell since having the protection active is better than nothing. Howerver it was blocking alleged dos attacks from Facebook IPs, basically anything it was blocking it shouldn’t really be blocked when I tried to lookup the IPs. It’s just doing a very poor job. As for Netgear’s QA department, I think the answer to your question is pretty obvious.
