Netgear R7000 is notorious for false positives on the DoS attacks.
You can check the ip of the address if you'd like.

I'd do a quick search through the forums for more info on the potential false positives.

Is that correct?if its coming from your iphone, i'd look at it as a false positive.
You might try disabling random mac/ip address on the iphone and see if that helps.
Again, try a quick search on the forums
