My network has reset several times and I’ve narrowed it down to an apparent DDOS attack. Never the same IP source, all hitting the specific port I use for incoming qBt traffic, shutting down the client doesn’t help, router is getting 10-20 requests per second for idk, several hours. Is there anything I can do about this?

Edit: Thanks everyone, it’s apparently not an attack and my router just sucks aha. It was overheating so I took its coat off. My router’s log was filled with “DoS(SyN-Flooding)” messages, and according to Wikipedia that’s a DDoS attack.

I had the same issue with my router, and i had to go into Advanced -> Socket Backlog Size and set it to 1 (default is 5) to completely fix it. Do you have a TP-Link router as well?

Mine is EE. Very little system settings are available, I can’t modify any technical limits. I fixed mine though, it was just overheating in its case -_-
