Hi guys,

Recently i've had a problem with being ddosed which was solved by changing my IP however i was wondering if higher end home routers are able to withstand some of the $10 stuff that kids use to take people offline. Of course i can't afford enterprise hardware, but i was wondering if a little more $ can make for a higher throughput. Also, how many gb/s can basic home routers handle?

No. A DDOS still just overwhelms your available bandwidth with garbage traffic. Only your ISP can do anything about it. If someone sends HTTP traffic at high volume to your IP, your router will discard it BUT your available bandwidth will still be used up.... Your ISP doesn't know that the HTTP traffic going to your IP address isn't desired so they let it through.
