R7000 Router report DDOS SMURF attack from R7000 AP's

[bascaves]

Hello Community,

I have 3 Netgear R7000's,  One as Router and two as Access Points. All 3 devices are set to send a weekly log report. The logs from the AP's are empty besides occassional login report. The one from the R7000, obvious reports more and this fine. However when I read the logs in noticed an odd log message. It reports almost daily that my R7000 AP's (192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3) are the source of a DDOS SMURF attack to my R7000 Router (192.168.1.10.  I left the message before and after to show nothing else reported at the sametime.

Really are the R7000 AP's attacking my R7000 Router?

I can't believe this, this sound bogus to me.

Software version on all R7000.

V1.0.9.6_1.2.19

BTW: I reported a lot of issues with earlier version of Netgear software. This version, still using very basic functions, seems the best version since a while.

Try factory resetting both AP's because your own devices attacking each other doesn't make sense.

Hello Systemcrash,

Thank you for the reply. I do not believe my AP's do this, are hacked or whatever. I have more the impression this R7000 makes a bogus entry. BTW: I can't remember if this i.e. just came with the lastest software upgrade of a few weeks ago. I can only tell I noticed it now.

However, I can factory default of course the AP's later in the week and see if this makes a difference.

Brgds,

Bas.
