Barrage of DoS attacks from legitimate sources
After buying and switching to an new Router, we have constant DOS attacks from our supposed service provider aswell as Google, Github and our service provider, with the same 4 IP addresses every that are slightly different to our IP address, exactly every 30-40 seconds using Fraggle Attack from port 2190, with occasional ACK scans using port 443, I have tried changing the DNS server (aswell as using the service provider DNS), resetting settings and rebooting the router, nothing has worked.

I have read Netgear's DoS protection is full of false positives and many users also experience attacks from port 2190, but this never happened (at this scale) with our older router
