Security issue for certain types of Netgear routers
CERT is advising people who are using certain Netgear routers, such as the R7000 and the R6400 models, to discontinue using them until a fix is available for a known security issue.

Nowadays I only buy routers that use DD-WRT for their management software. I just upgraded to this well-regarded TP-Link device.
Routers with security vulnerabilities were involved in the recent attack on Dyn along with baby monitors and wifi security cameras.

Netgear has released firmware update to fix the issue along with a list of products Netgear has confirmed to be affected. However, the firmware release is still in beta (has not been fully tested) and might not work for all users. So this is only being offered as a temporary solution until the production version of the firmware is available.
