IP Address:          45.19.50.103
MAC Address:    e0:22:04:2c:f5:cc
Following is the snipet of firewall logs from the modem.

make sure your UPNP is turns off.

There is no setting for UPNP for my router. Keep in mind this is taking place 2:52am. There is nobody in the house but me and I am sleeping. Using IP lookup tool, here is what I found

IP Address Host Name Country
195.154.243.143 195-154-243-143.rev.poneytelecom.eu France
41.212.121.193 41.212.121.193.wananchi.com Kenya
74.82.47.50 AT&T services USA
5.188.10.251 5.188.10.251 Croatia (HR)
121.29.54.100 121.29.54.100 China

You can pretty much ignore it. You can see your router is dropping all the packets so nothing get past it. This is pretty much normal garbage traffic and scanning that you see on all internet connections. Even if you wanted to there is nothing you can do to prevent it.

This has been going on for months, every single day and night. Does it effect my Internet bandwidth?

Not a lot but again even if it is what can you possibly do. To do something your router must actually receive the traffic and it has eaten you bandwidth by that time. Your router is doing all that it can by dropping the traffic.

This is one of those things that many times it might be better if the router just dropped the traffic and said nothing. It just stresses some people to see these messages

turn off the router each night when you go to bed for the night, the scans will stop after a week I bet
