  yup you're right TheEther
  
  Retired_Member according to this KB link vulnerability only affects R7000 v1.0.5.62_1.1.87
  if you have the latest firmware version v1.0.5.70 then you should be okay. Follow the recommendation on the KB as well.

    I am learning how this forum works ( new to all this ) ; however I am no computer Geek and I am still learning ... So , checking my firmware version , it starts with 1.0.6.28 ... My NetGearGenie states my router is up-to-date . Therefore I am thinking my version is particular to a Mac download . Perhaps this is consistent to the possiblity that there is in fact a distinction between Mac's Safari and PC vulnerabilities ... It would be nice to get a NetGear response to my post .
