Router detected Large Ping attack and dropped 7 packets.
![](/avatar/avatar-0.png)
Hello everyone.
I have a new network infrastructure running a few days now in a new office under construction.
There I have 3 omada devices (Router, POE Switch and EAP) and a wired security system.
Today i added a Win10 laptop for a video conference and i have more than 10 alerts at omada's log like this one: "Router detected Large Ping attack and dropped 7 packets."
The same happened about 1 week before when added the security system in the network, but after it stopped. No other PC or other network device was connected to the network.
So is this normal, every time i add a new network device, or it is an attack?
Is this critical ? Is this a Ping attack?
Should i take care of these, or remove these alerts from omada's alert emails ?
Thanks
E.A

ATENTIONE:
Today an update version 2.1.0 was released for the ER605 V2, which can be installed directly via the controller.
PLEASE DO NOT UPDATE
The update put my ER605 V2 in an endless loop disconnected-adoption-configuration-connected-disconnected.
When connected, all WAN + LAN ports are shown as disabled and the WAN connections as dropped.
Even after hours and through several hardware resets, this behavior does not change.
I can use the internet only with my replacement devise ER605 V2 with the old firmware version 2.0.1, now.

@Phuripat I've been waiting for this update for quite some time. I applied the update and it applied fine following the normal update process and completed succesfully first time, without any reboot loops at all.

@George-A Which controller are you using? The software controller, OC200 or OC300? Which version of it?

Confirm issue. Had to remove the router from my omada setup and start to use it in the standalone mode

ER605v2 Router disconnecting and looping after upgrade
I also have a ER605v2 in a test environment and that upgraded without an issue
Both use seperate OC200's which are up to date.
I thought if my test router upgraded OK then the production one would be fine
It wasn't.

Back to the original topic. I just started getting "Large Ping attack from 192.168.1.xxx and dropped 15 packets" about 12 times per day from 2 ip addresses on the lan, both of which are Ring cameras. The timing is not linked to anything that I can tell, no motion alert and not viewing. We have 6 Ring cameras and it only does this on 2 of them.

@BravoMike31 Hey
I had the same warnings constantly. As part of an unrelated project, I added a new (separate) DHCP server on the network and started using that. As soon as I did, these large ping attacks went away. I no longer get these warnings.

It's nice that notifications now show the source IP of ping attacks.
It is NOT NICE that it simply confirms TP-Link has a problem with Ring Cameras and Apple devices.
757 Large ping attack errors in 18 days.
the REAL question is - when are the going fix this?
