Nighthawk XR1000 Dos Attack Issues
[DoS attack: Fraggle Attack] from source 66.129.201.32,port 10001 Ok I'm not very tech savvy when it comes to router and DDOS attacks but I am currently a full time content creator on youtube/twitch and experienced some serious connection issues recentely that I haven't experienced before.
I have a nighthawk xr1000 that option wasn't available in the drop down menu.
My router logs are full of messages similar to this "DoS attack: Fraggle Attack] from source 66.129.201.32,port 52975" and they are coming in ever couple of seconds for hours. I have no idea how to prevent this but I feel like it's causing issues with me keeping my connection. My internet speeds are 1000 down and 100 up if that helps.
Here's a few examples of errors I've received:
[DoS attack: ACK Scan] from source 13.226.18.69,port 443
[DoS attack: Fraggle Attack] from source 66.129.201.32,port 52975
[DoS attack: Fraggle Attack] from source 66.129.201.32,port 57911
[DoS attack: Fraggle Attack] from source 66.129.199.214,port 2190
[DoS attack: Fraggle Attack] from source 66.129.200.105,port 2190
Any help is greatly appreciated!

- DoS attacks on NG routers are normal and generally false positives. What are the connection issues you're having exactly and what settings are you using?
- Settings are basically the defaults as I’ve just gotten the router. Essentially my stream will disconnect from the Twitch server but my internet wouldn’t go out. It was very odd.
- Disable DumaOS Classified Games on the QoS page under Traffic Prioritization and any other rules you may have added there and see if that resolves it please.
