Can someone tell me why my Nighthawk x10 is making up false dos attacks?

I know for a fact that ubisoft isnt attacking me, I also know that Facebook isnt either.

  • It is just Netgear's wonky logging of "attacks".

     

    People often turn up here thinking that they are under attack. Unlike you they don't check who is attacking them. So they are surprised when someone points out that it is Google, Facebook or some other innocent party.

     

    Think of it as a "feature".

    What is the Mfr and model# of your ISP modem/ONT device? 

    Cable or DSL?

    model: dg1670A

    provider: spectrum

     

    The router also causes problems when I stream to certain devices, my ps4 and my smart tv.

      Thanks guys, I just figured out how to get my streaming to work as well.  I just switched my tv to the 2.4ghz frequency, for some reason on the 5ghz it wouldnt stream to anything, except my phone.  

       

      Now that that's tackled, does anyone know if there's a driver for a mic input that will allow me to use my earbud mic? //lol I know this is a router page//
