If these events are slowing down your router, that may be because it is using up processor time as it writes the events to your logs. Anything that uses processor power – event logging, QoS management, traffic metering – may cause slowdowns. Disable logging of DoS attacks and see if that reduces the problem. This does not prevent the router from protecting you from the outside world.
So, "false positives" eh? I guess that kind of makes sense, but if it is such a problem for so many, you would think they might work on lessening that aspect of the software.
Thanks for your answer. Sorry to sound impatient. Most forums I belong to, you get about a dozen answers by a couple hours in. I guess this one is a bit different.
The statement about processing power to write to a log file, while sure it probably exists, but it is not doing rocket science, just writing out basically a text file, and not all that much at that. It would be cool to see an OS-like function like Windows' Task Manager for this, so one can see what is consuming processing cycles.
