BR200 Bricked?

My BR200 seems to no longer allow outbound connections.  There is a Forbes article mentioned that there are hardware vulnerabilities.  What gives?  Why is it so hard to find information about the issue and how to handle?

Re: BR200 Bricked?

Tell your bosses that is horrible solution and you lost a mid size customer.  This should have been visible and pro actively posted to each of your clients.  I wasted a few weeks trying to figure out what was going on.  And I want a hardware firewall sitting in front of my networks managed switch (many POE devices connected there).  I get there might be a hardware vulnerability but now I am likely going to have to replace much of my infra to maintain compatibility (FW, switch, APs, etc.).  Good bye Netgear....
