The firmware has now been publicly released: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-Pro-Gaming-Routers/New-Firmware-for-XR500-2-3-2-32-fixes-disconnection-issue/m-p/1636839#M3864
If you are having a disconnection issue, please upgrade to this firmware (or a later one in the future). Thank you everyone for your patience

Ok i've pretty much pin pointed my internet disconnectivity issues to the afforementioned dos attacks on my router. I have a vpn up which I thought would help with this but it's still getting through, is there something I can do to stop these attacks so I don't disconnect anymore?

Have your ISP change the WAN IP address that comes thru the modem.
