Miserable broadband router or web attack?
Sometimes web browsing hangs while bit torrent and browser download continues with normal speed.
Router restart fixes it usually (while shouldn't stop DOS if target IP remains unchanged) or else problem passes by itself after 40-50 minutes (without router restart)
What kind of flaw this might be - a miserable router of web attack to browser port 80? If last, then what kind attack and how to protect against?
I have a an old Thomson TG784 router for 3-4 computers in household, which has earned well for many years. I have a dynamic IP from ISP but in fact IP doesn't change never after router restart.
Usually DOS attacks is overflooding an IP and restarting broadband router shouldn't have any effect as after restart attack continues to the given IP.
I checked also Thomson log but there are only last 20 entries and nothing interesting. When problem occurs Thomson router browser GUI isn't accessible to view instant log.
Any suggestions how to troubleshoot?
