Disable DoS protection, it's useless. 98% of the time it's false positives. In your case, a local device (192.168.1.3) is "attacking" you. Worthless

Not much point in keeping a record of what microchip8 rightly labels as "worthless".
Anything that requires your router to do work eats into its processing power and that can get in the way of doing things that are important.
