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.

I thought that I should still see some "attack" signatures happening on the router if it was logging them.
It was logging events that did not happen. Why would is show fake signatures after Netgear fixed this defect?
A bigger problem would be if the logs did not show real events.
Can you think of events that your logs no longer show?
Maybe an empty log means that nothing happened.
In my case, the logs for an MR90 show:
[admin login]
[DHCP IP: (192.168.1.9)]
[Dynamic DNS]
[Time synchronized with NTP server]
[Internet connected]
[Internet disconnected]
[email sent to: logs@xxxxxx.net]
I have it set to log the whole caboodle.
