    Buffalo router vulnerability - need clarification

    Thanks, everyone. I won't worry about it tooooo much for now, but I'll definitely be upgrading when opportunity knocks.

    Buffalo router vulnerability - need clarification

    I was saying it in a bitter kind of way...from the beginning it's been a pos. The UI is buggy (sometimes only loads part of the page), the radios lost most of their power within 1-2 years, and they've only ever released 1 firmware update from the very beginning. Anyway, I won't buy another...

    Buffalo router vulnerability - need clarification

    Yeah, unfortunately, it's only available for the Japanese version. I even called their US toll-free number, and they told me to not attempt to use the Japanese patch, or I'll brick it. Although, this was a few months ago. Did you find one on the Americas site that I'm not aware of? They have...

    Buffalo router vulnerability - need clarification

    Thanks guys. In the meantime, I also went to dig deeper about the definitions used in this CVE, and found this description: "A vulnerability exploitable with adjacent network access means the vulnerable component is bound to the network stack, however the attack is limited to the same shared...

    Latest firmware updates - important for access point?

    Hi all, I have an old router I'd like to use as an access point. It's no longer supported, so no new firmware updates. I'm wondering, from a vulnerability / security standpoint, is it important to have those latest updates if the device is being used as a wireless access point only, versus...

    Buffalo consumer routers - any good? Or alternatives w/focus on security & updates?

    Thanks, guys. @Tech Junky I'm not that proficient yet, but I like the idea of learning how to do what you just described. Otherwise, in the meantime, a SMB type router like you mentioned sounds like a better option for me in the immediate moment. @Tech9 are there others you like besides the...

    Buffalo consumer routers - any good? Or alternatives w/focus on security & updates?

    I have an old (probably 2015) Buffalo AirStation WXR-1900DHP laying around, but noticed the company has only provided 1 firmware update since it came out, and that one dates back to 2016. I would like something that is as secure as possible for a home (consumer grade) router, and wondering if...
