   As always, an actual version number would be more useful than your
opinion of what's "the latest" today.

   It's not "a potantial exploit into [your] system"; it's another
(potential) vulnerability if your system is already seriously
compromised. As it says in that cited thread, "If someone can
overlisten to that traffic, then you're already in big trouble."

   Or, at least, it pays little attention to problems like this, which
present miniscule actual threats, but do disturb many users.

  I see all i'll get here is condecending attitude.. Thats fine i understand you believe this to be nothing but i for one do not.. And i'm glad useless idiots like you are here to be smart asses to customers.
  
  Netgear lost a customer today forever thanks to a scumbag with no training.. Good luck i hope this company fails i will tell whoever i can never to buy this trash.
  
  Good luck good bye.

       I didn't say that it was nothing. Read it again. What I said was:

       Which, I claim, is (still) true.

       You're welcome, but I'm not Netgear, you're not my customer, and if
    you think that you're dealing with a serious security problem here, then
    I don't value your opinion very highly, either, no matter how
    eloquently you express it.
