I traced the problem it it's coming from the ipad , I did the following 

 

Uninstall all apps

reboot

reset factory

all didnt work, once i connect, i get the same attack and internet drops, I was readying on the forum, they all said they replaced the netgear to silve the problem, do i really need to do so?

    Contact your ISP and have them help you block thsi IP. Have them also change your WAN IP address.

      I almost did everything I can:

      factory reset the iPad

      factory reset the netgear

      changed passwords

      format iPad

      change WAN password and connect only iPad ( DoS attak appear in a few seconds, kills internet )

      changed WAN Password and connect all devices except iPad ( internet works fine )

       

      should I gave up and just buy motorolla ?

        Probably. I would get in to a stand alone modem something like a MB7420, then connect up a external wifi router. 

         

        Good Luck.
