However, it drops for everybody for a few minutes and then comes baclk up and is stable for a few hours.
Have you factory reset the RBR and setup from scratch after powering OFF the ISP ONT for 30 seconds then back on?
Are you configuring custome DNS or letting the RBR auto detect DNS from the ISP? Try setting a custom DNS, i.e. 1.1.1.1 and 9.9.9.9 and see.
- OK.
I have disabled parental controls and it is fine. It has not dropped the internet all day.
Why would parental controls cause the internet to drop for the house?

That could be the cause.
Netgear's firmware is great at creating false reports of DoS attacks. Many of them are no such thing.
Search - NETGEAR Communities – DoS attacks
Use Whois.net to see who is behind some of them and you may find that they are from places like Facebook, Google, even your ISP.
Here is a useful tool for that task:
IPNetInfo: Retrieve IP Address Information from WHOIS servers
If these events are slowing down your router, that may be because it is using up processor time as it writes the events to your logs. Anything that uses processor power – event logging, QoS management, traffic metering – may cause slowdowns. Disable logging of DoS attacks and see if that reduces the problem. This does not prevent the router from protecting you from the outside world.
