DoS attack, Teardrop or derivative, Ping of Death, strange non-DHCP IP address connected to wifi
I'm getting lots of Dos attacks logged in my C3000 modem/router. They appear to be coming from inside my network, from my wifi. I keep seeing a device attached to my wifi with an IP address of 1.1.15...
We have a C3700 router and I've noticed that a lot of times during ther day my wifi connection stops working. I turned wifi of and back on for affected devices and it works for about 15 minutes before it reapears.
I just checked the logs and found multiple DOS attack messages (Tear Drop and Ping of Death).
From everything i've read, it seems like its a known issue with NetGear. I guess I will do better research for my next router.
