Hi Noda,


Good day!

 

Welcome to NETGEAR Community!

 

First of all, we do apologize for the inconvenience of not getting back to you immediately due to the back log in the system. Are you still having the same issue? How often do you see the DDoS attack on the router logs?

 

Please do not hesitate to let me know if you need further assistance. 

 

Regards,
Oliver

    Hi,

    I’ve been experiencing the same issue with my router up to 10-15 times a day. Sometimes the attacks happen and the router gets disconnected. Other times, attacks happen and it stays connected. In the router logs I can see the attacks and the source and target addresses, all external addresses.
