Down time

Hi there, 

 

I have been experiancing outages and drop in services with the Nighthawk, I have been working with my ISP and they have reported no issues with signal or connectivity. I have seen the discussions about the "false positives" with the DDoS attack log messages and I thought I was experiancing the same but can anyone tell me how I can stop the outages if this is a false positive attack?

I also seem to get a variance in attacks such as Storm attacks, Smurf, some are ACK some arent and then I have had a few log on attempts to the admin consol right after these attacks .....I am just trying to stop this router from falling over 2 to 3 times a day?
