    FTC Dings ASUS For Selling 'Secure' Routers.

    Guess it's good I've just used mine as a basic router since getting an Asus and not enabled external access. A little googling based on your post led me to the CVE database do I can catch up. Thanks for the info Eric...

    FTC Dings ASUS For Selling 'Secure' Routers.

    As I understand it, Asus "fixed" the security issue about two years ago. The fix was to update the firmware so users had to set a password. Really? Apparently so... Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

    Just upgraded to RT-AC66U, price dropped, should I get something else?

    If it's $50 cheaper now, many companies will provide a refund for the difference, if it's a recent purchase anyway. If it's doing what you need that is. If you want to run your NAS off the router then you'd probably benefit from more CPU horsepower like maybe a RT-AC68U or better.

    FTC Dings ASUS For Selling 'Secure' Routers.

    Just taking security seriously. The recommendation I found a while back was 32 random characters. I know people who use 63-64 truly random characters. I use a phrase which I can remember with some special characters added and some numbers substituted for similar looking alpha characters. It's...

    I agree, just get irritated at inconsistent application of the rules.

    FTC Dings ASUS For Selling 'Secure' Routers.

    My password has long been a 33 character mix of upper & lower case alpha, numbers and symbols with few common words. And I've never really trusted any cloud offering with anything important. I think those types of things are my responsibility, not any vendor.

    FTC Dings ASUS For Selling 'Secure' Routers.

    Do door manufacturers have to provide certified dead bolt locks with instructions how to insert the key and turn it and advise you to do so when leaving your home? Better audit then if not! [emoji1]

    FTC Dings ASUS For Selling 'Secure' Routers.

    You missed... For more privacy, choose “limited” or “admin rights” access instead of “limitless” (internet access). Change pre-set passwords. ... create new passwords that are strong and unique for both your router and any “cloud” services — something only you know. This can help prevent...

    Wireless Router buying advice

    I've heard mostly negative things about Linksys lately but maybe it will just take some time to sort out. My niece and her husband swear by Belkin routers. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

    Wireless Router buying advice

    I'd stay away from Linksys as well. I wouldn't have bought this LRT214. But it got a decent review on smallnetbuilder so considering using it. Haven't decided yet. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

    Wireless Router buying advice

    I'm actually considering that approach. I sort of inherited a Linksys LRT214 which I take it handles VPN better than my RT-AC66 would. So considering putting the LRT214 on my WAN and moving the RT-AC66 behind it as an access point. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

    Wireless Router buying advice

    The BEFSR81 is a classic, haven't seen one of those since like 2002. That's when Linksys was Linksys, before bought out by Cisco now Belkin. I used Linksys products for years, WRT54G and the like. But I switched to Asus years ago. I'm not as familiar with the latest products so will let someone...
