Hi, yes, both are in router mode. As far as I know, the Arris is assigning the IPs to the Netgears. On the "Internet" tab for the RAX45, it is showing "Get Dynamically from ISP" selected, with IP 192.168.1.121, and Gateway IP of 192.168.1.254. I'd have to log in to the RAX 54 to verify it's properties, but I'm pretty sure it's set up the same way.
Incidentally, the log indicates that "[DoS attack: TCP SYN Flood] from source 192.168.1.254, port 38200" with many more lines showing many other ports.
I can confidently say both NG routers are generating device IP addresses in the 10.0.0.x subnet.
