New vulnerability discovered affecting Netgear routers
I have an N900 WNDR4500v2 Router running the most current version of firmware. Is it vulnerable to the cracks announced last week (approx. Dec. 8-9)? Thanks, NPC

We now have beta firmware containing fixes for some affected models.
We're working hard on fixes for the other affected models and will update the security ticket above soon.
There's any easy check to see if you're affected which involves checking what you see when visiting a URL on your router.
