C7000-100NAS DoS attacks
Over the past month, I've been getting numerous DoS attack log entries on my Nighthawk AC1900 Router. I've contacted my ISP, the ISP of the attacking IP address, and Apple, and no one has an answer. ...
Stumbled across this while researching the same problem.
What I have going on is random drops of PS Vue streaming. Analysis of the router log shows these coincide with the same sort of things described here.
We have four Apple devices, and the IPv4 addresses that the "attacks" come from are "generated" from the Apple IPv6 "function" of those devices. I've seen addresses that belong to Tokyo City Hall, various places in the US and even one in China. Every time, they have an IPv6 address associated with an Apple device here. There's no method, so far as I can tell, to "disable" this either on the devices themselves or in the router. I've allocated static IPs to all four devices, but it still happens. I'm wondering if having an IPv4 - only "access point" behind the router and connecting the Apple devices only to it might be the answer?
