@Marcie1 Just to verify, what's the exact model number and version of your router?

Also, what's the firmware installed on your router?

Hello, I also got this message today from Avast on my WNR1000-V2 router from Comcast.

Will this firmware work on a v1 router? I never got any follow up to the request for contact details (which I provided via PM) and mine remains unresolved.  Post #20 or thereabouts contains my firmware version....

Here is the firmware downloads for the v1 model

Hello! I am a new member of the community that just registered and I too have been experiencing this error when running a network scan on my avast software. Even with the firmware upgrade I completed, I am still receiving the error message that I am attaching to my post. I tried downloading the fix here but I keep getting a message saying that the file is corrupted. 

I really appreciate the help because I want to do everything I can to make sure my software is safe from hackers/attacks!

Thank you in advance!

I am getting this message from AVAST too, I have  DGN 1000v3, Router Firmware Version
V1.0.0.1_0.0.24, windows 10

[Dark_Knight16]

I wanted to double check on the thread to see if there is any answers to our concerns. I posted my reply the other day but so far I haven't received any help from a Mod.

Hello Dark_knight16

I am having this looked into I will let you know once I hear back on the problem.

Avast reported the same problem on my Dell. I had been using Panda but among other fixes I switched to Avast. The Dell is connected to a Mac wirelessly via a Netgear N300 router with firmware v1.0.0.50, which is the last firmware compatible with my Mac OS 10.6. I bought this router about six months ago. I do NOT want to buy another.

Second, I received a phishing email allegedly from ATT on Christmas Eve claiming that they had monitored spam coming from my IP address. I called ATT and they said it was a fake email, that they didn't send that kind of email, and that my account number was listed incorrectly on the email. I made a lot of fixes, scans, changing passwords and so on, but then two days ago the phone line went out. I have two lines and one was out all of yesterday until today. Today it works and I connected. I don't know why. As far as I know the ATT guy hasn't yet come out to fix the phone line, which ATT said had a short in it. I was unable to get a dial tone until about ten minutes ago.

Please let me know as soon as possible whether my router has in fact been hacked, as Avast claims, and whether I will need to buy a new router.

Hello Chip67

The firmware you have is not the latest firmware the issue was fixed in v1.1.2.12  which you can find here

It didn't work. Did you read what I wrote? I'm on Mac OS 10.6.7. The firmware has to be compatible with that system.

[DarrenM]

Chip67 

The operating system is not going to affect the firmware that is applied to the the router.  Which Version of the WNR2000 do you have?

DarrenM

OK, I'm not getting the warnings anymore from Avast.

I have a N300 WNR2000v4. First I upgraded from firmware version 1.0.0.50 to 1.0.0.58, then to 1.0.0.60

If my router was hacked, does that mean my computer was hacked too? Does this mean damage was done? Was data stolen from my router or my computer?

[Adrian_E]

Darren

That's not the model I have - mine is the WNDR3700v1 and the latest firmware available for Europe appears to be v1.0.16.98

[WildBilly]

Any firmware updates for the WNR1000V2 to fix this SOAP vulnerability yet?

[mediatrek]

The WNR1000v2 is an EOL (end of life) product. Netgear 99% of the time does not release new/patched firmware for EOL products even if there are known security holes (vulnerabilities). Basically Netgear wants you do go buy a new router to eliminate the security vulnerability. In other words; do not hold your breath for patched firmware.

[Dark_Knight16]

I am still experiencing this issue with my router (Model WNR2000v3). I still haven't heard anything about a fix and I am growing frustrated with this. It was fine for a full two weeks before I started to get the same message again and I would like for someone to help me with this. I may just wind up getting a brand new router if I don't get a response about this. This is very frustrating.

[Adrian_E]

I've got the v1 version and have had it confirmed that due to it being 'EOL' there will be no new firmware.  Seems a bit cheeky that a vulnerability built in to the device isn't seen as sufficient reason to offer a new firmware version if significant numbers of customers are asking for it.

Since it appears a new device is the only way to address the vulerability I'll be off to buy a product made by someone else, on principle.  They'll probably prove just as bad at some point in the future, but I detest the attitude that results in a perfectly functional device ending up in the bin.

[Retired_Member]

The update worked for me.

Thanks for the help. I'm unsubscribing from this forum.

Thank you for the update!
