Indeed. A ping flood is very amateur these days.

The vulnerable hop on a home connection is the slow WAN link between your modem and the ISP's core and your home router (Superhub or otherwise) will have absolutely no control over the data coming down that link and therefore afford absolutely no protection against (D)DoS attacks.

The only way to stop a DoS affecting your link is to stop the data going down your link to begin with, which can only happen at the ISP end.
