Need information not present in the Nighthawk 7450 log to report network abuse.

Kurt,

Have you looked at the logs? Here are a few revealing entries from mine.......

So, the "abuse" (a DDOS attack) is identified in the log and the attack has gotten bad enough that it has made a noticeable impact on my WAN network performance.In addition, (and this is just a hunch), the amount of heat generated by the router would indicate that its 4 processors are really struggling to keep up with all the requests. Historically, my LAN (we've got just a few devices accessing the Internet) does not generate enough of a workload to cause a router to get hot. Hope that answers your question.
