CM 400 Router

Before I ditch this product for a TP Link, I need to know two things:

 

1.  What is the latest firmware version I should have to avoid known hacking issues with this router, and

 

2.  I cannot change the settings password.  I know how, but it continually comes up "invalid password."

 

old password = admin

New password = eight lower case letters, repeated twice (confirm).

 

after about 15 attempts, I gave up.

 

i tried re-booting several times, plus a factory reset.

 

No luck.
