Got a dos attack on this router had to manually block the services port 67 and not 443 since that is dhcp and IP. So if anybody has any issues I suggest you check your logs and see if you have any ip...

Interesting.
Another interpretation would be that those reports are artefacts created by Netgear's logging system, which is known to be problematic.

If Netgear can't mend this logging system, it should put those logs out of their misery and kill them off.
I have never seen any official response form Netgear. It doesn't even warn people that warnings are mostly rubbish, which is why we get people turning up here scared witless by them.
