Various DoS attacks in log, what do?
The following events I have found in the log of my newly installed router. There appear to be several different types of DoS attacks listed. This goes on for days (installed saturday, log looks like this since installation)
I do not know enough about this to know if I am actually under attack or not. What I can say is that my last router was losing connection intermitantly every day, sometimes multiple times a day, and this one has already lost connection once.
Can anyone with more knowledge help me out here?

TLDR: I don't know what is happening, and I am so sorry for the wall of text.

NETGEAR's DDoS option is known for many false positives (eg, wrongly detected as DoS attacks). It's better to lookup the IP addresses and see if they really are from a source that may attack you. Many IP addresses may come from your ISP, Twitter, Facebook, etc so they're false positives. Never the less, if they are legitimate, you can disable loggin on these attacks as it puts strain on the router to process them. If that doesn't hellp, disable DDoS completely to fullly relieve the roouter. Don't worry, all Internet devices get exposed to attacks and most are harmless. I've been running for 3.5 years withoout DDoS protectiion on my routers and haven't enncountered any issues

Your reply confuses me. I'm experiencing the same thing, from a different local IP (10.128.200.1), which doesn't exist in my network.
It makes sense to look at an IP that wouldn't be a "10.x.x.x ", as it may show an actual DoS attacker, but HOW DOES a local IP appear on these log entries??
Also, you say, Netgear may be logging 'false positives' (that is it's log entry is NOT due to a true DoS attempt).
So, you suggest turning off DoS to save router stress, aren't these log entries being triggered by "something?".....which would continue, would add stress to the router, and be undetected by us?
Thanks in advance for a reply

This is a constant refrain.
Netgear's firmware is great at creating false reports of DoS attacks. Many of them are no such thing.
Search - NETGEAR Communities – DoS attacks
Use Whois.net to see who is behind some of them and you may find that they are from places like Facebook, Google, even your ISP.
Here is a useful tool for that task:
IPNetInfo: Retrieve IP Address Information from WHOIS servers
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.
By the way, you have joined in on an existing conversation that may or may not have anything to do with your problems.
There is also a good chance that the official support team is busily monitoring new conversations and may miss your addition to this one.
If you do want help with your problem, check previous stuff that may be related then start your own discussion.

I'd do a who is on that IP address.
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

The following events I have found in the log of my newly installed router. There appear to be several different types of DoS attacks listed. This goes on for days (installed saturday, log looks like this since installation)
I do not know enough about this to know if I am actually under attack or not. What I can say is that my last router was losing connection intermitantly every day, sometimes multiple times a day, and this one has already lost connection once.
Can anyone with more knowledge help me out here?- michaelkenwardGuru - Experienced User
The WAN addresses in your list are Amazon and Google.
All that 10.32.140.1 is local to you and, with 192.168.1.35 in there, more private addresses, raises questions about what else is on the network.
