Comment on Arris / Arris-variant DSL/Fiber router critical vulnerability exposureparent

Comments

May I ask what are those routers?

He's probably talking about Nest, Eero, AirPort (RIP), etc.

Yeah... https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/11257354?hl=en

I understand that it's already insecure but seriously?

Name another 7-year-old home wifi access point that still gets manufacturer software updates. The contemporaneous Asus RT-N66U stopped getting new releases years ago and in all likelihood contains a bunch of vestigial vulnerabilities. OnHub got scores of software updates over its life and the only time they had a CVE it was patched and pushed to all hardware globally in less than 24 hours. I don't see how this model of control is not clearly superior.

A Cisco 8200 would probably be what he wants.
