RAX200 - weird log entries

Question

Hi,&nbsp;Hoping someone can help with this as it's causing me some worry.&nbsp;Checking through the logs, I'm seeing a lot of ACK attacks from Apple, Google and Amazon. But the worrying bit is that I'm seeing a lot of blank entries in the log in the middle of the night showing just:&nbsp;Thursday, Jan 01,1970 00:00:00&nbsp;Probably about 30 or so in between proper entries about new connections and DoS / ACK attacks.&nbsp;Is this just a bug or has someone managed to infiltrate my router and then mostly clean up after themselves?&nbsp;Thanks.DR_H

Hello DR_H,

&nbsp;

This is usually a false report. Furthermore,&nbsp;I would recommend contacting our Support Team for additional info on the logs.&nbsp;

Netgear's firmware is great at creating false reports of DoS attacks. Many of them are no such thing.
