Is [DoS attack: Smurf] blocked by the router?

[rkruz]

For the DoS attack: Smurf, does the router log entry below mean it was blocked by the router?  The IP is my internal LAN and in fact my laptop.  I get a lot of these log entries.

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

Router:  Netgear R6700V3 Firmware: V1.0.4.126_10.0.102

Cable Modem:  Netgear CM500,

ISP: Cox Cable

Service: 180Mbps down, 10up

I've just been troubleshooting Internet outages after replacing a failed router with another R6700V3 I am  still experiencing some short term internet outages experienced by all devices on my LAN (wireless or wired)   and wondering if it has to do with the DoS Attack routers log message.  The IP address in the DoS Attached message is my laptops IP address.

I use WIndows 10, and run Windows Security and ran an "Microsoft Defender Offline Scan" as well as a "Full Scan".

Thanks!

NETGEAR DoS protection is famous for false positives and is broken beyond repair. I suggest disabling it as it gives a false sense of security. I run already 4 years without it and never had issues
