Recently I have been having issues with my internet and TV. During and after streaming videos of any kind from any site (e.g. Youtube, Vimeo), my internet seriously slows down and even stops working sometimes. It has also been knocking out my TV in a few minute spans (i.e. TV goes out for a few minutes, comes back and then goes out a few minutes later).
When I do a speed test I get very slow speeds, usually 2 - 3 Mbps and I have a 45 Mbps connection. Even worse is I get 150 ms ping; I normally get around 45 ms ping. During these times I can't access my Modem, the connection just times out. The problem usually resolves itself 10 to 20 minutes after I am done streaming.
So today I checked my router logs and I found DOS attack reports. I'm not sure what these mean or if they are relevant to my problem, but I need help here!

There are many more. I have read that this seems to be a problem with Netgear routers, but I'm not sure what they mean. I substituted an x for the last few digits, but they are all from the same two IP's.
Any help is appreciated!
Thank you.
