I recently purchased this router and I am very pleased, however, My ISP was recently down and when service was returned, the router blocked what it thought were multiple DDOS attacks. Evidently something with the initial restart of my connection caused the issue. My question: Is there any way to clear or delete the log of threats deleted?

Are these entries that you saw on the logs?
Netgear's firmware is great at creating false reports of DoS attacks. Many of them are no such thing.
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 loggingof DoS attacks and see if that reduces the problem. This does not prevent the router from protecting you from the outside world.
