WN2500RP Range Extender KRACK exploits.
What about the older WN2500RP Range Extender? As an extender it is obviously affected by the WPA KRACK exploits. Netgears security advisor only list new products. Netgear really need to publish a...
I have this extender and would like to add to this thread.
Here is Netgear's Security Advisory regarding the KRACK exploit:
There is no mention of this extender in the list. Furthermore, I'm very disappointed in the neglect of your consumer grade product security.
The last Firmware Update to WN2500RP V1 (V1.0.0.30_1.0.58) was from 2012. Five years ago!
Due to the outdated Firmware, my WN2500RP V1 is the weakest link in my WIFI network.
--Netgear will you address these problems concerning the WN2500RP V1:
1) The KRACK exploit? 2) Multiple other security vulnerabilities from the past five years? 3) Is the WN2500RP V1 product supported?
--Finally, as the Original Poster pointed out, Should this extender be trashed and replaced?
Any thoughts or suggestions?
