Getting these by the bucket load last two days.
Should I worry, or is the router doing it's job!

As its exactly a month out you've probably got the date set wrong on your router.

Port 6881 UDP is used by Azureus (torrent program). Check to see who's running Azureus on your network.
 
yeps turnkey is absolutely correct. these packets are from azureus network or at least bittorrent. UDP is used by DHT used in azureus but some other clients use DHT now as well so it is possible it might be another client but definately bittorrent network. The client will obviously drop those packets as they wont have a valid hash check but ur router is already detecting them as spam.
 
Thanks turnkey.
Checked clock in router, that was ok.
Have now turned off router email.
only me on this router, wireless switched off also.

Will have to learn more about routers!
 
Hi,

If it helps upon investigation the 83. address belongs to Wanadoo France and the 212. is your isp so looks as though someone might have been trying to do a ddos attack on you from france.
