orbi network turn of by dos attack
Hi, My orbi system turn off a view time's a week. When I take a look at the log file there is a dos attack standing on that time. I'm using: firmware version 2.3.5.30 orbi system RBR50 can s...
the firmware version is V2.3.5.30
the brand of the modem is one of my provider
and there is not something like a pattern to the service interruption.
sometimes it happens twice a day and sometimes it works good for a whole week.
Anyway to block external ip addresses being tagged as Dos attackers?
The Orbi is "blocking" those attempts already. The only way to keep them from reaching the Orbi is at the ISP, and my experience is that is something they are not set up to do. When my phone says an incomming call is "Listed as a telemarketer", the call has already arrived.
You can instruct the Orbi to stop logging these nuisances. They will still be there, but you will not be told about them. All of the annoying robocalls that come to my phone and do not leave a message appear in my "Missed Calls" list. I choose not to scroll through the list of "missed calls", but those calls still happened.
It is not acceptable when a WiFi router fails often. My Orbi stays up and running for months despite all of these things being logged. If the Orbi is having to be rebooted often, I am very confident (1) there is a problem, and (2) the problem is not these DoS attempts in the log file.
I did a reinstall last weekend but today there was the same problem as before.
So the problem is still there.
What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too? Built in router here by chance?
You might update to v2.5.1.8, factory reset and setup from scratch and see if this changes anything.
