    Gee, that's wonderful isn't it? This unit should be better protected, it costs more than $20.00
    I don't use the default IP address for the router, I use one that is not a normal one, would I still
    be open to this attack?

    At this point, I would consider yourself vulnerable no matter what for now.

    I use my R7000 in bridge mode so I can have my printer in another room. The main router is an Asus AC68. Do you think the R7000 configured as a bridge is affected? Thanks

    I read the detailed report. My frustration, as a R7000 owner, is the lack of workaround while they hopefully work on a fix. There is nothing to say if downgrading the firmware will fix this. Netgear has older firmware versions on their support servers. If a simply downgrade would fix this until they fix it in another firmware patch I would be all over that. Replacing the router or simply not using it is not a simple solution. Unlike PCs, tablets etc. most people do not have multiple routers of this caliber by different vendors sitting around their house.

    I'm afraid I have to hold out. I work from home, so can't gamble on beta firmware. Hopefully it will be production soon.
