Work computer not working Ax1800 router
I am not able to get into my work computer on the router but am able to get into that same computer thru my modem. What could be the issue with the modem. All other devices are working fine

What router is that?
Ax1800 is not a unique Netgear model number. Many devices come with the AX tag, but it is essentially a label that Netgear, and others, attach to hardware to describe wifi speeds.
Look at the label on the device for the Model Number. And, if there is one, include the "V" bit to show the hardware version. If there is no V number, then you have V1.
What is that modem? Make and model number?
What do you mean by "not able to get into my work computer"? Get in how?
Wired LAN? Wifi? Web browser and the graphical user interface (GUI)?
What are you doing and where does it go wrong?
- Summer24Oct 14, 2023AspirantIt's is a Rax10 model. I am hard wiresd and my computer boots up but will not go to my work login screen. I noticed under my logs it is saying Dos attack.
- Summer24Oct 14, 2023AspirantThe dos attacks are coming from my port from the computer that is not working. Does this mean my router is blocking my computer

I noticed under my logs it is saying Dos attack.Which logs are these? The router?
Netgear's firmware is great at creating false reports of DoS attacks. Many of them are no such thing.
Search - NETGEAR Communities – DoS attacks
Use Whois.net to see who is behind some of them and you may find that they are from places like Facebook, Google, even your ISP.
Here is a useful tool for that task:
