What the hell is going on with all these Dos attacks. I've been reading some of these links and my question is are they real or not? If these attacks are not real then why is this happening? This is uncalled for if they are not real. If something real happens I want to know about just like everyone else, we live in a society that can't be trusted anymore / not safe IMOP. I'm sick and tiered of spending hard earned money on these expensive equipment and they don't work right. I want an explanation of what's going on please.
Here I am racking my brain and feeling threatened by these (real or not real) attacks and I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels like that.
I too have a problem with Internet drop out as well.

Logs are verbose as they are primarily for developers. They are not meant for users to come up with an issue. DoS Attack entries are common on Netgear routers and do cause unnecessary panic. They appear just from browsing the internet etc, one of those IP addresses belong to Apple so I assume you either have an Apple device or went to a website of theres or something along those lines. The entries are harmless and DoS protection is enabled by default anyway if there was something sinister happening you'd be protected.
Ok, thank you both for the replies. But, this is unacceptable bottom line. I'm sure a lot of people would agree. If these are harmless then they need to identify it another way other than a Dos-attack. How is regular consumer going to distinguish a real threat vs a harmless one. I wish some other folks would chime in here.
What about the WLan part?
Please don't take it personal guys I do appreciate the help and answers.
You'll need to track down where the IPs are coming from and see if they are being falsely reported by the router or actual attacks by checking to see if anything on your side of the LAN is using services from any of the IPs that are showing up.
I would also contact the ISP for additional help and information regarding this. If you think your actually being attacked. Have them change your WAN IP address to something else to see if the attacks top.
Regarding the WLAN, does this MAC belong to any of your devices? 94:e9:79:94:a7:cd
If not, then the router is just reporting someone attempted to joing your SSID and didn't get the PW right. The router is doing it's job by reporting this.

(You'll need to track down where the IPs are coming from and see if they are being falsely reported by the router or actual attacks) It's the routers job take make sure it is and to report back to me if it's a real threat. IMOP
I don't have a static IP address so I can change it anytime I want.
(I would also contact the ISP for additional help and information regarding this) I did and they would not know. At least this is what they told me.
(Regarding the WLAN, does this MAC belong to any of your devices? 94:e9:79:94:a7:cd) It could be I'll have to check.
I think what netgear should do is implement a color code for logs in 3 different levels to differentiate between severity levels. Green normal, yellow caution, red danger need to investigate.
That color coding idea is a good one. The log is very sensitive, which makes it quite disconcerting when you read it. 99.9% of the time it's nothing to worry about.
