RAX200 - DDOS Attacks - A LOT of them...
I'm getting tons of DDOS attacks, ack, fraggle, smurf, etc.. I "think" its from my PoE Ring doorbell elite which is hardwire connected via my netgear PoE switch which is connected to my RAX200 route...

Netgear is great at creating false reports of DoS attacks. Many of them are no such thing.
Search - NETGEAR Communities – DoS attacks
Just use whois to see who is behind some of them. You may find that they are from places like Facebook, Google, even your ISP.
Here is a useful tool for that task:
IPNetInfo: Retrieve IP Address Information from WHOIS servers
Your attacks are from places you may recognise – Google and Amazon.
