10.130.64.1 is the second step of the traceroute, so I assume it's my cable modem. Is it bad that my router is blocking the modem every second or two?

Thanks.

Are you experiencing any issues? This looks like someone probing you and the router is blocking the requests. perfectly normal.

Thank you for your reply. I have not had any issues that I can think of, I was just making sure this wasn't a security problem.

Maybe someone is trying to DoS you and your router is preventing them.
