R6250 latest firmware 1.0.4.48 is vulnerable see CVE-2023-33532 and CVE-2023-34563
Hi,
The latest firmware for the R6250 which was updated in 2021 is vulnerable.
See CVE-2023-33532 and CVE-2023-34563. Due to it hasn't been updated for a long time now it may be vulnerable for more issues.
Can you update the firmware of the R6250 to fix it.
With regards,
Wiens

If you want to eck out a little more life, ddwrt has a build for the r6250. But it might be time to upgrade to something from this decade

Even then it is worth remembering that this was never one of Netgear's most powerful routers. Seriously old WiFi technology.
