'Wide spread' WIFI Router Crashes

That sounds very familiar - some people complaining bitterly, others having no issues. Moderator claims it's environmental issues and I am sure it is. I would still be worried and I think it's a huge gaping security issue that a client device can actually crash a switch or router in less than a second of doing something. Considering that google engineers are now looking into this I am more hopeful that they will find the cause and provide a solution to the router manufacturers very soon.
