Yes that would make sense. The idea is though to make sure you're not on "their" network, and the only way of doing that currently is to effectively get patched, once patches are available.
The issue is, when are those patches going to be available? It has become an arms race.

Thanks. I did see that but wasn't sure as it isn't very specific, and I like specifics!
- AngryDogOct 16, 2017Guide
Well that was fun. The firmware update broke the Access Point, thanks for that.

Which firmware update? Haven't seen a new one come through yet.

It helps to scroll up. I'll try it today! Thanks!

Ahh, I see. I have an R8000 X6 Nighthawk consumer router. Will there be a firmware update coming for that product?

I wouldnt use it. Its broken the Access Point here. I am not amused.

Which Access Point are you using? Which Firmware version did you download? Are you using a controller managed Acces Point or a Standalone Access point? Hope we can help you quickly.
