RAXE500 no longer get attack warnings
I've never been so unhappy after purchasing a router as I have been with this RAXE500. But I'll have to live with it now that I've spent the $600 to get it! Yesterday I upgraded the firmware fro...
michaelkenward Netgear have changed the attack logging so I apologise as I was surprised its so different, but it is the way its meant to be now on The RAXE500 as you guessed.
I was given this reply via Netgear. "Engineering comments: Understood and we changed the DoS attack determination rules since there are a lot of false alarms in previous version. It’s the enhancement in v1.2.13.100.
I don’t think it is an issue."Also there is a trial version to cure option 60-61 missing but users with that issue would need to contact Netgear.

When you do a scan of the ports on the router that shows up as a port scan in the firewall logs, well it should but Its not.
Firewall logs? I haven't seen that term used for those logs before.
The logs produced show attacks on the firewall along with all the other things ticked and as we know some are not attacks at all, but some are just logs from incoming communication with the routers firewall that Netgear's routers have always seemed paranoid about as most are not attacks and it would be nice to have it fixed so it does not show false positives like Amazon or Apple etc. When a port scan is done against the routers firewall it is shown in the logs these are firewall logs mixed in with the other logs we have selected in the routers GUI. As of now the logging system is not showing logs from the firewall like the port scan I did on the router, and it should. So this is a bug.
