R6400v2 Protection

I receive emails from Kim Kamando and trust her.  Recently a email from Kim said that the 6400 router has been found to allow bad guys to take it over or somthing like that. I lost the email so I am asking you to advise of any thing I should do to update my 6400. One thing she said was to change the password.  Can you help me with this?

Re: R6400v2 Protection

Who's "Kim Kamando" ? 

 

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?

 

You can change the SSID password at any time. Found on the routers web management page with a wired PC and web browser pointed at 192.168.1.1 on the Basic tab/Wireless settings.

Without some more information, all you will get is guesswork.
