AC1750 c6300v2 DoS Flood Attack to Internal Port IP

NETGEAR's DoS protection is highly flawed and known to block and generate many false positives, even from your own local network and devices. If you look up IPs from the logs, many will be legitimate ones coming from MS, Apple, Amazon, etc for example.
Disabling DoS protection might solve your issue. Trust me, after years of experience of running without DoS protection on various NETGEAR routers, you're not missing much. If you keep DoS protection on, most of the times you'll get a false sense of security or "protection" as only a percent or two are legitimate.
