The last straw: new vulnerability for R7000 R6400 R8000

Hi All,

It's not about finding something less buggy. ALL code has bugs. It's about purchasing something from a company that is active in securing their product when vulnerabilities are discovered. Netgear has done nothing to bolster my confidence that they are willing to keep their products up to date. I would rather have a product with bugs and a company willing and actively fixing them than a company that hasn't released an update in 6 months.

What's the timeline of their knowledge of this bug? Sources say since August. So they got on the ball when it became a matter of CYA instead of prudence or morality? I guess we can offset the stances of fiduciary responsibility versus externalities, especially those of potential victims of botnets. But shareholders ALWAYS win over stakeholders and society in general. That's bottom line.
A Men brother. Netgear seems to be EXTREMELY SLOW with releasing FW updates and addressing things. Instead of pushing out new routers every month, lets fix/secure what you already have on the market!
