[DoS attack] LAND Attack SPT:2190 DPT:2190
Hi All, I had an issue last week with my Orbi system. Long story short, I was receiving a ton of DDoS messages from all my devices attached to my home network. After talking this over with a fe...
Thanks but I don't see anything in that link other than a description of the problem? Anyway, yes that basically describes it. However it's not affecting my internet service.
I did see an old article from around 2015 where these were caused by having Access Control turned on...and I set that up at the same time I updated the firmware. In fact Access Control was on when I rebooted after the firmware update. Hmmm...
Anyay, I am still getting the NULL attack messages as well. I've logged an incident with my ISP. Hopefully these are just false positives.
Might try a factory reset and setup from scratch. This time, don't setup Access Controls or any additional features. Check the logs.
Thanks Furry, I've thought about that. The thing is I see two types of attacks: the LAND attacks and the NULL attacks. The latter have a legit source IP which seem to be coming from China.
I've opened a ticket with my ISP and I'm waiting to hear back from them.
Okay, I've done the factory reset. Access controls are disabled and the only changes from default are turning off UPnP and enabling smart connect for my Wi-Fi. I'm still receiving the LAND attack messages. I've also enabled the armor security however the messages were coming in well before that.
The factory reset didn't go smoothly. I had issues with the Nighthawk app connecting to the router. I had to half set it up with the app and finish the setup by logging into the admin web page.
I did hear back from the Comcast security team however their response was basically useless. All they said was factory reset, use a VPN, etc. They never even bothered to research where the attack was coming from.
At this point I may just return the Netgear and get my money back. I'm not sure what else I can do at this point and I'm beyond frustrated.
Hey Steveberry,
Im getting the same message on my Router Log's as well. "[DoS attack] LAND Attack PT:2190 DPT:2190" Did you find out the issue? One of my friends that's in IT security said the 255.255.255.255 is a local network pinging the system. So im slowly turning off computer and accessories around the house one by one until I find which computer or node. Im out of ideas right now.
did you fix your issue?
btw, I have a CAX80 modem too.
