DoS attack, Teardrop or derivative, Ping of Death, strange non-DHCP IP address connected to wifi
I'm getting lots of Dos attacks logged in my C3000 modem/router. They appear to be coming from inside my network, from my wifi. I keep seeing a device attached to my wifi with an IP address of 1.1.15...
Qestion, did you change the default router password, default wifi passphrase on the router?
Yes, and I changed the passwords again after seeing the strange access in the logs. What's strange is that the 1.1.153.x address is showing up as connected to my Wireless. Last night, a different iPhone on my wireless had that IP address. I've just about given up on the router features of this device. Tonight, I'm going to disable DHCP on the device, and hookup a trusty old Linksys router to it to see if it resolves the problems. Thanks for your input, but it's just insane that Netgear doesn't provide even email supoort after 90 days. They used to be my go-to brand for networking equipment, but I guess all companies are feeling the squeeze of the poor economy.
I'm seeing this also. I've started watching this the last couple of days and I see a lot of DOS attacks. The source is listed as 2.x.x.x and the target is multiple other websites. One day the rogue ip of 2.x.x.x was from my son's iPhone. Then the next day it took over my husband's iPad. Now it is listed as the ip for my phone.
My next step is to set my router back to the default settings. And then, if I can ever find out the current version #, I will update the firmware.
Anyone have any any other ideas?
i have a C3000. I have remote management turned off. I have a different password that the default (can't find out how to change the admin username so that has stayed the same)
thanks for your help.

I'm getting the same exact thing. I was checking into things because we keep getting kicked off multiple times a day for no apparent reason and saw the logs of attacks and the rogue IP address that moves around to different devices.
