[X10 (R9000)] cannot regenerate or invalidate VPN credentials
I'm shocked I spent so much on a high end router, and I'm stuck with the static OpenVPN configuration on the router. There is no way to invalidate old keys, generate new keys, or have multiple active...
- They need to address this across their product lines. A fixed key is a problem. Plus it is signed with MD5 and should be SHA2 now.
Then I would install DD-WRT.. I understand it should do this out of the box, but if you are beyond returning it or there is really no way to do this with the factory image, look into DD-WRT. I know they have two different variants for this router, because I own it as well.
You can always go back to factory image as well. Read up on it...
Yes I know about dd-wrt. This is a complaint regarding Netgear's supported firmware. The design is insecure.
I may go to dd-wrt, but was only going to do that if there are critical features I need. Several hardware features are not supported by dd-wrt, and it is not officially supported by Netgear. Additionally if there are two hardware versions as you indicate, dd-wrt may have less support from the open source community (fewer users per version).

Well, one supports Plex while the other does not. But yes, I am with you. I am still running stock.
There are more differences than just Plex. We could argue whether they matter, but the point is dd-wrt does not support the full range of hardware (examples include USB attached storage, LEDs). There are also probably additional bugs that exist that we don't know about because the user base of dd-wrt on the r9000 is probably very small. Installing dd-wrt is itself a risk, because there is always a chance you can brick your expensive router, in which case there would be limited support to roll back.
Yes, I am aware of all of those including 5g issues as well, but this was not a discussion of who knows what and so on, but more of making sure you knew what other options you had available to you.
