Denial of Service — Fire TV

Hello, I received the following notification: “NETGEAR Armor blocked a Denial of Service attack involving Fire TV streaming device.”
Would someone please advise what this message means. I’m streaming on my TV using an Amazon Fire TV stick and have received this message a couple of times since installing my Nighthawk modem router last week.
Thank you.

    Netgear is great at false DNS attacks. 

    Is it causing issues? if not, i wouldn't worry to much
