I am hoping that you could assist me with your vast knowledge in Networking. I do a little competitive gaming. Well shortly after a game noticed my latency in game was jumping up from around a 18 ping to 999. Reset my router and modem to see if I was having a Charter Spectrum issues. Well after the reset it didn’t fix it so I reached out to Spectrum and they told me there was no service issues in the area and everything looked good with my modem, speeds, ping etc.
So I logged into my Netgear XR1000 router just to see if anything was off and that’s when I came across logs and logs of what is attached. Not havening extensive knowledge in networking I started to google getting DDOS’d and what I could do for it. One thing I came across was changing the MAC address on the Networking tab of the router and forcing an IP Change so I did that. When I did that I ran a “whatsmyip” and it picked up a new address like I hoped it would but it wasn’t the normal 47 IP that I usually have from Spectrum. When I did that my internet was running around 10mb down less than 1 up from its normal 500/30. So I switched it back to the Use Default Address and it rebooted and picked up the same IP I had before and the logs started to fill up with the same errors.

So im at a point now where I can not game at all. My normal connectivity is all over the place and Spectrum said it was my issue.
Most of those are just the router had logging reporting what the router is designed to do in this area. Block stuff.
You'll need to so a whois lookup on those IP addresses you see there.
Most of the entries are benine.
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too? Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.
Also recommend running www.pingplotter.com with a wired PC connected directly to your ISP modem or ONT.
If you notice this problem again, could you try connecting a device directly to the modem and run a speed test from there? Does that still report the same low results?
