Hi, I am just a user as well. I also have posted this very same thing on this site.
From what I was told, the router is doing exactly what is was designed to do. The router is picking up this "traffic". Is it blocking it? Yes I believe so. Is it recording it in the log? Yes.
I have had no issues with Netgear (other than some buggy firmware updates in the past). I have now simply disabled the log. There is no need for me to see this. Again, I have no issues with Netgear...maybe someone that is more technical may chime in. But I think you are good. I am not sure if emailing these companies would do any good. Have a great day...

So, if they are real DoS attacks, is the Orbi logging after one attempted access or after N attempted and successive accesses?

    Most are not even true DoS attacks - causes are when mobile devices have connections open and disconnect eg due to power saving, connection loss, wireless disconnect, roaming to different SSIDs or AP connections, uplink (Internet connections going down or bouncing).
