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

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...

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...

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...

I have a (crappy) Buffalo WXR-1900DHP, which seems to have a vulnerability listed on mitre.org. Specifically, it says "Authentication bypass vulnerability in multiple Buffalo network devices allows a network-adjacent attacker to bypass authentication and access the device.". Could someone...

Sounds good, thanks. Kinda what I was thinking / hoping.

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...

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...

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...
