Orbi RBR750 - scanning attacks?
Hi everyone, thanks so much in advance for any assistance on this. I have my Orbi AX4200, been set up for a few months. I have upgraded to the v4.6.3.7 firmware, and I'm aware that a few problems are...

Thanks, sorry I'm not sure what you mean by no router at the modem. Isn't my Orbi the router? I'm not an expert with this stuff :(
Also with regards to your suggestion about disabling Armor and seeing if it happens again, how would I know if it happens because Netgear Armor is supposedly the thing that sends me the notifications on the app?
Aside from all this, any theories at this stage? While the outages are annoying, it doesn't bother me as much as not knowing. Is it likely just a false positive, any similar behavior like this? I know the latest Orbi firmware seems to have some issues. Thanks!!

Hey, no real progress in the sense that I never found any information. In the logs, it showed nothing, no dropouts or reconnections or anything. Same thing, just "attack" then the internet drops. No information on the attack, no change in the devices wifi logs, or the admin logs.

Maybe something on your detected device that Armor is finding. Though not sure what it would be.
Does this happen if you disable Armor?
You might try new FW listed in this forum though not sure if it would be helpful.
