AC810-100EUS security big problem


Netgear AC810-100EUS

810 has several security problems in software design

if 810 is left resting on a table, anyone can take control of the 810 because it has no security password on the LCD Display


who took over 810, can change:
wifi name
wifi password
change band
remove or add mac address
enable wps
enable wifi guest
and take total control of 810
then the password obscured the display is useless

solution:
The netgear should change the software and enter a master password on the LCD display to access the 810 and change settings and total control.
No master password insert? you can only see the signal and battery
If master password digit on display= take full controll 810

in Italy to use the internet connection without permission is a crime, but netgear does not provide any security to prevent illegal use of 810
