XR500 drops internet
I am having an issue where the internet stops working..... I have 2 Xbox ones being used and they randomly disconnect and now the wifi doesn't work either. The wifi is connected but no internet. On...
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
Could you paste in some of the logs that mention the DoS attack?
Here are the logs from my router, let me know what next steps I can take.

Under Settings > Setup > WAN Setup, make sure that Port Scan and DoS protection are NOT disabled.
The only thing disabled on this page is something called "IGMP proxying" otherwise the port scan and dos protection is not disabled.
