C7000 Iphone causing DOS attacks and drops
My C7000 router is causing network attached devices to intermittantly drop connection for about 30 seconds before restoring. Whenever this occurs, I check the router log and see one common thread. ...

Hello Damianipa
It could be a app that installed on that iphone causing all the attacks did you install anything recently on the phone?

I don't think an app is the cause. There are several threads about this on ths forum. Is anyone from Netgear monitoring these forums? This is a problem, but, not fix has been provided. One person said, the cause is malformed packet from IPV6 address being sent from the apple iphone. If that is the case, is there a way to turn off IPV6 on this router? I hope more people chime in who have this issue also.
