Constant ack port scan dos attacks Xr700 nighthawk
To begin with,everyone stay safe and healthy.
I have an xr700 nighthawk gaming router,ordered especially new from Germany,as I wasn’t able to purchase it in Russia. For some time I’ve been getting so called false positive dos attacks,ack scan stuff. While this happens my internet speed drops drastically and online gaming is way worse. I’ve seen it all over the web,but the only answer I see,that it’s normal. To be honest,I don’t think it’s ok,when your own 300$ router doses you. That’s just beyond me

- The router isn't performing DoS attacks on you, it's unfortunately worded - it is just showing IP addresses/connections you have come in contact with. It is highly unlikely they are causing your issues.
What speeds do you pay for/what do you get direct to the modem? What speed does it drop to? What is your average ping to the game as shown by the Geo-Filter?- So I pay for 1gb/S
My pc gets around 900mb/S while being wired to Ethernet without router
And it won’t drop anywhere
My router sees the speed at exactly 1gb/S
When this happens,my speed drops to around 100/60 constantly. May get to 40/30 and packet loss - Sorry for the 2 reply,I don’t know how to edit,kinda a new user here
My ping doesn’t change. It’s around 10-20 on moscow servers and around 60 Germany
Also tested my ISP router(like a 20$ crappy one) and it has constant 400+mb/S no drops nothing- How often is the speed dropping? Does it occur on all devices? That ping is really good so must be related to the speed drop.
