Internet dropping, logs say dos attack icmp flood from different ips (C6300v2)
Hello, I have been having this issue for about two weeks now. My wireless devices will randomly drop connection and when I'm on my desktop (wired) I get lag and or bad packet loss also randomly. es...
You still have too much Correct and Uncorrecables.
Most of the time these attacks are just that, attacks that were blocked and just reported in the logs by the system.
Yeah I don't think the correctable and uncorrectable will be fixed. All my cables I can access are secure and in good shape and I doubt COX will run new line since the tech said it was fine. Even with those the connection has been fine since the tech left and haven't had any issues.
So I think the man issue of this thread is solved.
But, to just confirm and recap the dos attacks and port scans that show up in the logs are fine and I shouldn't worry about them even if the log is showing the port they scanned i.e. SPT:xxxxx and DPT:xxxx correct? I haven't made any changes to the settings of the router/modem besides changing the password, the wifi names and passcodes, and the DNS server.
So, if there isn't anything to worry about I really appreciate the help and answers you gave. Thank you!
Should be unless you notice something out of the ordinary.
Might ask the ISP if they can change the WAN IP as one step to see if something happens. Most of the scans and attacks are seen across modems and routers. The logs just report that it took place and was stopped by the system.
PW changes and such is good.
Come back if you see something drastic happen or contact the ISP if this comes from the WAN side. Sometimes they can help in some places.
so just look every so often and if one of the attacks says the target is an IP on my network contact ISP or come back?
And will do Thank you!
Yes. You may see some IoT devices that can be a target. Also sometimes its those IoT devices that have a calling card back to the mothership as well. Something to keep in mind.
Will do. Ill make sure to do my research if I get any.
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
