About the DoS attacks, I wouldn't worry much as most are false positives (NG is known for this). About the LAN/WLAN access, you should disable Remote Management as this is always a security risk. A few entries in your log show access to your LAN from remote. I'd worry about that
thanks but this is all i could find mine don't have remote management at least I cant find it
not sure but i went into the app and turned off anywhere access hope that's what your talking about
Don't use cr@ppy apps. They don't offer all the options. Use the Web UI with a browser at http://routerlogin.net or http://192.168.1.1 - once in there, you can turn off Remote Management (I don't recall, but it's somewhere in the Advanced settings)
