DoS Attacks in the logs
Hey guys I have been getting disconnected from the internet at different times over the past week. At first i thought it might have been an ISP issue, spoke to them and multiple line checks revealed no issues....during the drop outs i wasnt able to ping the router (Nighthawk D7000) or any devices on my home network, i have checked the logs and it contained multiple DoS attack entries as below DoS attack: ACK Scan] from source: 51.254.7.95:80 Sunday, March 05,2017 08:43:45 [DoS attack: ACK Scan] from source: 51.254.7.95:80 Sunday, March 05,2017 08:42:30 [DoS attack: ACK Scan] from source: 51.254.7.95:80 Sunday, March 05,2017 08:41:14 [DoS attack: ACK Scan] from source: 51.254.7.95:80 Sunday, March 05,2017 08:39:59 I went ahead and disabled remote management and turned off upnp etc....propblem still persisted. I have changed the router to a new one (same model) and Dos attacks continued. With our ISP i get a new public IP address everytime i restart my router so there is really mo chance of this being a Real DoS attack as my IP changed on a daily basis (atleast over the past week) Done a scan on all the home laptops for any malware nothing!! I am stuck and not sure what to do? Is this a fault with the firmware / netgear equipments? Any help is greatly appreciated Cheers
