    This (the Google CAPTCHA) is typically caused by malware on your system(s). I'd suggest running MalwareBytes Anti-Malware or a good antivirus on your machine. – tombull89 Mar 07 '13 at 13:18

What you're describing isn't a broadcast-- it's just requests to a web site.

That router device doesn't support port-mirroring, so you're in a bit of a challenging situation. Ideally, you'd wedge a computer between the router and the ISP on the LAN side of the firewall and sniff the traffic to determine which machine is generating the excessive requests. Since you don't have that option I think you're going to be stuck doing a binary search-- disconnect half of the clients and see if the problem goes away, repeat until you find the "half" containing the malfunctioning client, then winnow that group down.

If you're running an open wifi network or using weak encryption then, ultimately, you may find that unauthorized clients are the culprit. Malware is also a likely culprit.
