    Hi rungel,

     

    Using the latest firmware should correct any issues like this.

    Do you have the latest firmware installed on your router?

    Here's a link on how to upgrade the firmware.

    In addition to this Avast vulnerability, kindly see this thread.

      Hi ElaineM,

       I did have that version installed, but went ahead and flash it again. But Avast still tells me the same issue is there.

        Per Netgear's EOL (end of life) product policy, they will have long since stopped support for the WNDR3800 with anymore firmware updates; even if there are security holes in the firmware. Basically you have to go out and buy a newer model router. Netgear will not be fixing it. The end.
