When did you last update your Wifi firmware?


Just FYI, A'goners, that routers often need patches to remain secure over their lifetime and old routers may no longer even be supported and therefore, there would be no new patches for new security holes.

If you've never checked your router's firmware for updates now may be a good time.   In my case I have 2 network devices and both have needed security patches to keep them safe.  This is in addition to making sure your router is not accessible from the outside world.

I have 4 Asus XT8 mesh routers, set to auto-update both firmware and security patches.  Nothing was current until I manually updated them 2 days ago in response to an article on TheHackerNews.com.  Disappointed.  Routers bought in '21, last update late '23.
