I have rebooted the router and it seems just as slow at restart. I will try disabling upnp, check for any port forwarding and look in dmz, factory reset, then report back.
Are the DoS attacks a concern ? Thank you

What devices do you have all connected. The one IP address ACK scan is from Amazon. You might turn OFF all devices that connects to the router save one ethernet PC and see if those UNKNOWNs stop being logged.
