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 currently use the SBG6900. I recently move into a two story house and have noticed no difference in speed or coverage on my other devices up stairs. Also no TearDrop issues either. I purchased mine at Best Buy.
Hello,
The SB6900 is a good modem. We here at HP are having printing issues with it. We are trying to work with Netgear to resolve the issue but at this time I would recomend the SB6190. it is a little cheaper but does not have the same issue.
Yes it is cheaper, I belive it's just a cable Modem without built in Wifi. I like all the Arris devices and believe you really cannot go wrong with any of them. I've been through a few of Linksys, Cisco and Netgear, so I have a vast amount of devices to compare them against. Thanks for bringing that model up too.
Wow, I still can't believe Netgear never fixed this. My advice to all reading...Get rid of your Netgear and buy a surfboard 6190 with a seperate wireless router. I went with a good Asus. Since my switch almost 2 years ago, I've had Zero issue. No network drops or outages. Just solid performance and reliable speeds. I'm shocked that Netgear never chimed in just to say 'they are aware of the issue and will attempt a firmware fix'. The lost a customer in me and I cannot imagine ever switching back to one of their products.
I followed the advice given, got an Arris surfboard from Best Buy, $119
Only had one drop of signal in the past 6 hours of it being hooked up (usually I would get 6-7 in that same time period). My online game (which I would get kicked from when the signal dropped) is still going after 6 hours straight. I am sold!!!!! Goodbye Netgear.
