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...

I should also mention I even changed the IP of the router and have a 128 bit administrator password.

Just with my iphone and ipad on the wifi network there is no "malicious" activity. My devices do not show up in the netgear genie as having a public IP. If my wife or kids add their iphones or ipads then it starts almost instantly. One of the connected apple devices will show up with the public IP and the logs will show that public IP attacking random public IPs. Its always one device, never more than one at a time. Definately something apple related but I can't find what is different about my two devices compared to all of theirs. We looked for apps they have that i don't and also device settings. Could not isolate the difference. Its driving me crazy! No issues with anything wired.
Also should be noted that all throughout the day when no one was here, no iphones at home, there was no malicious activity. There were three ipads at home all day. The malicious activity stopped and started at the moment the last person with an iphone left home and returned home. When I did a test at night with just those three ipads (to confirm they were not the issues) the malicious activity started again , although not mine. So i think that just confirms if the ipads are asleep that nothing is "calling out". All the other ipads and iphones by themselves on the network cause these attacks when in use, but never my own ipad and iphone.............
