You can't, you just mitigate them locally (as your router is already doing), or if you have the option, you find a provider than can do it for you further upstream so your 'pipe' stays clean and unclogged.  However, in this case it is your students on local subnets that are 'attacking' :). Might be interesting to correlate the device/user acct from which the attacks are coming...and maybe have a quiet discussion about continued access to the school's internet.

Now the newest firmware started doing this. im unable even play online games becouse of this. My earlier problem was packet loss becouse of bad isp connection. Now this started happening.

If you put yourself on your own subnet, ie you are the only one in the subnet, better yet add some ACL's to prevent inter-LAN traffic, then you should have unimpeded access to the WAN connection with no local interference.  However, if local users are saturating the uplink connection, or if somebody is causing a volumetric DDOS attack from the internet, then you are pretty much stuck unless you start shaping (BW Rate Limiting) peoples traffic.

  @Ric04jan72 I've been getting the same messages recently but all of the "attacks" are coming from our Ring cameras. Others have reported this issue with Ring cameras and iPhones and iPads, this may be what you may be seeing as well.
