I disabled all logging on my own router. I was getting multiple false reports of DDoS attacks. I deduced that the router logging was just rubbish. Never had a problem since, well I wouldn't know would I because I no longer have logging enabled

That's one way of dealing with it.
A less severe approach is just to disable logging of "Known DoS attacks and Port Scans".

Can't argue with that. And most of the log events are kind of pointless for many users. Do I really need to know about Connections to the Web-based interface of this Router?
But there may be some useful events. The "Dos Attacks" seem to be especially useless – and pointlessly scary to some people. And they also seem to cause more performance issues than other events.
