What is DoS attack in my router log?

A DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack occurs when many computers or bots flood an IP address with data. Routers feature a unique public IP address, otherwise known as a static IP address, so they can fall victim to these attacks as can any device connected to your network.

Can your router be DDoS?

Yes, routers can, unfortunately, be both a target for a DDoS attack and can also be used to launch an attack, sometimes even simultaneously.

What happens when someone DDoS your router?

In a DoS or DDoS attack, an attacker floods the IP address of the targeted device (such as a console or a computer) with superfluous communication requests. These requests can overload a system and create a jam that blocks network connections on the targeted device.
