What Firmware is currently loaded?

Contact your ISP and have them help you change the WAN IP address that is given to you by your ISP.

Hi All,
My Orbi FW is the lattest one, my IP is dynamic one. I'm haveing one small ISP router (which is spliting the internet and the TV) before Orbi on which i don't have access anyway.I'm concerned about the DoS attack, the problem here is that someone is trying to brute force my password. That's why we can see so much failed login attempts and the goal here is to have remote access to my switch, but to be able to block external IPs.
Contact your ISP and have them help you change the WAN IP address that is given to you by your ISP. if you don't have access to there device, then they need to help you with this.
