Hi all, I've recently reverted back to the stock firmware from DD-WRT due to some issues with the upping DHCP over 150 clients causing the DD-WRT firmware to crash. I'm trying to give stock a go again, I really like the mobile app, but I'm constantly losing my internet connection.

 

Have you got it back on to stock firmware? It isn't clear from your message.

Not knowing anything substantial about your network, beyond the fact that it crashes, it is hard to begin to guess what might be happening.

First it was related to false positive DoS attacks from my work VPN, Facebook or other IPs related to web tools/services. I checked this by reviewing the logs and putting the IP of the attack item from log into the browser and it taking me to various related web assets. I've since disabled DoS protection.

 

Netgear's firmware is great at creating false reports of DoS attacks. Many of them are no such thing.

If these events are slowing down your router, that may be because it is using up processor time as it writes the events to your logs. Anything that uses processor power – event logging, QoS management, traffic metering – may cause slowdowns. Disable logging of DoS attacks and see if that reduces the problem. This does not prevent the router from protecting you from the outside world.

Your call. Originally launched in 2014, this was never the most powerful of routers.
