Denial of Service Attack last night

Last night my system began reporting a denial of service attack on all of my connected devices and shut them all down.  This lasted until I rebooted the system this morning.  I have been running the system since Jan 2023 with no issues and did not change any settings yesterday.  What would cause this and how do I keep it from happening again?

  • What causes it? NETGEAR's faulty DoS protection, with 95% of false positives!

      Looking for this setting to turn it off but not finding that setting in the App.  Can you help me find it?
