WNDR3700 and NON-2015-0211
Hi, I have a NETGEAR Router WNDR3700, Firmware: v1.0.16.98, GUI v1.0.0.64 AVASt virenscanner is warning about a NON-2015-0211 problem and ask me for updating the router firmware. But the last fi...
Welcome to the community, @suchflix
Unfortunately, this model has been considered EOL and there will be no future firmware updates to be released.
As a suggestion, upgrade your router.
Thank you for your message!!!! The Router was not so cheap so I don`t like to put the router into trash. Is the problem maybe with an open firmware like dd-wrt solved? I don`t know anything about this firmware but I read in some blocks that people installed it and after that they were happy. But the blocks are old, so I found no text dealing with open firmware and the NON-2015-0211 problem... Any idea?
Bye, suchfix
The vulnerability can only be launched once the attacker is inside your network.
To prevent the attack, block unauthorized access to your network. By default NETGEAR routers are pre-configured with random SSID and passphrase.
It is recommended to change the SSID and passphrase, as well as administrator password to the router setup GUI page.
Using opensource firmware may help you but it's not recommended by NETGEAR. It's up to your discretion should you choose to load 3rd-party firmware.
