I have had some feedback from Netgear about the WNDR3700v2.
This router was declared End of Line (EoL) some time ago, the last firmware released in December 2013, with the SOAP security issue reported 14 months later in 2015.
While this may be a disappointing outcome for you, this approach to EoL products is in line with common business practice for home grade networking devices.
There are steps you can take to ensure that the vulnerability has no impact as described here
Looking for it - see http://www.netgear.com/landing/eol.aspx - it appears that all the wndr3700 versions have an end of live (EOL). Even the latest version 5.
I understand after reading the text of the url mentioned above, that the risk is limited.
I got the warning Non-2015-0211 from my Avast scanner (new installation).
Searching for that I found this message: WARNING Vulnerability ID: NON-2015-0211 on my Netgear Router WNR2000v3
My question is the same and there for related to that message.
In respond of your message I have searched in the Admin of my router. This I found by USB-app. http://readyshare.routerlogin.net/shares for port 80 is activated. Its used for the printer in my homenetwork.

I find that using the Private Message system can sometimes give me greater scope for dealing with individual issues, if that’s not what you want then fine.
I also have a wndr3700v2 with firmware 1.0.1.14 (latest reported) and windows 7 and 10.
On both Avast claimes my router is infected, although I have all the functions disabled. (wifi is not even enabled, but if it is I only allow acces based on MAC adress).
I know this router is EOL, but since its still widely used you would expect a company like Netgear to adress this problem at least to patch this.
Otherwise I must buy myself a new router, and then it certainly wont be any Netgear coming in the house ever again, or in my recommendations to other users that i help in my work
So I can't understand why there is the question what firmware is installed....
It looks if you can aspect help form the Community Team, but the answer was already given: No there will be NO UPDATE as the router is EOL
The answers form the Community Team will be give in a private mail, so the negative solutions are not published in this blog. It is a way of handling.....
The last version for WNDR4700 is 1.0.0.52 If my model is EOL my router is still under warranty. Then i have to claim to receive newest model that should have a solution. Thanks for your info
Ok i will wait your answer. Regarding the alerts from Avast i already adjusted the settings on the router. After changing again i have those alerts. I believe that my router have been efected because few days ago i got a message from google.com that from my IP have attack the page and they disabled the page to open from my IP. I did forward all http coming to my router to an unused IP for the moment, but the only solution remain to update the firmware.
