Am I being DDoS'ed?

Probably

I remember when I kept thinking the same (my router has bad logging) issue, didnt really kick me off but latency was so bad and it randomly spiked. My issue was the router receiving the packets internally, basically we use the comcast router for internet, but also have a powerful router laying around. I decided to turn off broadcasting on the comcast router and make the powerful router an AP router so it ports all traffic directly to the comcast router, not sure why this solution fixed the problem.

Do you have any extenders or more than 1 router?
I dont think the packet stuff is a problem, could be total packets from the beginning (doesnt reset even if router is unplugged)

Open command, try this:
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

This was a temp solution for me till I found out my router was being complicated

My sent packets are 560 million and my received are 400 million, my internet just started acting up outta no where and I have no loving idea on whats going on.

560/400 million packets is practically nothing if that count is rarely reset. You could easily get that in less than a month if you were constantly watching netflix and had a high download speed. A few months is more likely though.

I refreshed my router just 2 days ago though..

likely no.
ddosing takes a lot of time and money to do, so unless someone really hates you in particular it's probably nothing.
think about these before thinking that you're getting ddosed;

* 1. is my ip public or able to be found easily? (e.g. through a bl server)
* 2. would anyone have any reason to ddos me? (such as pissing someone off)
* 3. is the supposed attack happening to anyone else or just me? (think back to the bl server ddoser, they targeted anyone who was hosting blockland, not individuals)
* 4. does resetting the router or changing the ip fix the problem temporarily or permanently?
* 4.5. if it's still happening, could it just be a fault with the connection or router?
i also wanna add; a ddos attack on an individual would rarely last over 10 hours because that's a lotta time, money, and effort.
