nighthawk ac3600 dos attack: fraggle attack in router logs
i have been unable to stop dos attack: fraggle attack log entries every ten seconds or so. what do i do??
Well, I have found a solution. After three visits from the tec staff from ISP, two modems and three, yes count it, three different Netgear routers: Linksys EA8300!!!!! yep, half the price and I bought it at Wallmart. Bought it on a whim while still believing that my constant intermittant loss of service had to be some devious thing that the ISP coudnt figure out. It was my last ditch b4 heading to Comcast.

hey
Not much you can do to stop - these are "real" attack attempts, driven by script kiddies typically. Get in touch with your ISP so they can drill down and identify and stop (or block) at the source.
While the IP can be spoofed or show up as an IP in your home network or ISP uplink, what is the IP address and port shown along with the DoS log?
