Repetitive DoS Attacks (ACK Scan, Fraggle Attack) on Nighthawk Router??

My router is the RAX20, wasn't listed in the model pull down menu

 

So, this is my first post in a thread like this, I've never had this issue before and honestly, wasn't aware it was happening until I checked my router logs, this is what I'm getting everyday.... Like it's starting to worry me. I would have a longer log but I reset the router as stated below,

The Seagate drive is my external HDD i have connected to the USB 3.0 port on the router, I use it as a network drive for files. I tried resetting the router and modem and this is STILL happening, are these false positives? I am very much a beginner in the world of networking, I have a basic understanding of how the whole shabang works but this is beyond me, anyone know what the hell is going on with my router???? Am I good or do I need to like call my ISP or something? I have no clue for how long this has been going on, I noticed this when I logged into routerlogin.net last week, I've had the router for months before that and no issues whatsoever. None, the router is lighting fast almost always. 

 

My routers firmware version is: V1.0.2.82_2.0.52

If it matters, I'm running Windows 10 Home on an Acer Nitro 5 and there are about 10-18 other devices connected to the router at any given time

 

 

Any advice would be great

It's common, don't worry. You are protected by the router security and your computer security. I have the same attacks.  Cheers!
