Home Hub One blocking legitimate IP addresses

Been having problems with connections from both my partner's and my own MacBooks. Despite having a strong wifi signal, there is no connection to email or web services for up to 20 - 40 seconds. 

From event log this evening:

20:13:00, 25 Jun. OUT: BLOCK [9] Packet invalid in connection (tcp reset attack is suspected: TCP [192.168.1.10]:63097-​>[212.227.15.138]:993 on ppp3). This is 1and1.co.uk IMAP server.

 

The hub firewall is also blocking these and other seemingly legitimate IP addresses:

2.16.56.159 -> a2-16-56-159.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com
104.78.178.30 -> a104-78-178-30.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com
17.253.37.205 -> uklon6-vip-bx-005.aaplimg.com

 

Anyone have an idea or suggestion?

Re: Home Hub One blocking legitimate IP addresses

Hi there.

It's possible that the router's firewall blocking traffic is a red herring and may not be related to your wireless signal dropping. Could you give the steps Here a go letting us know how you get on?

From 31st October 2022, I no longer have a regular presence here as I’ve moved on to a new role.

Thanks Gandalf

My networks are already separate. Two phones and 3 Macs are on 5GHz, with ROKU 2 on 2.4GHz with separate SSIDs

The Mac's wifi icon always shows a good connection when this happens.

Thanks for that @futurethomas.

 

When the issue occurs, are you able to log in to the router via 192.168.1.254?

Not for the same 20 - 40 seconds

Thanks for confirming that for us.

 

Are you able to connect the Macs to the 2.4 to see if we can replicate the issue there?

Re: Home Hub One blocking legitimate IP addresses

Thanks Gandalf. I'll give that a go on my MacBook tomorrow and let you know what happens.
