Security risk found for home routers
Evidently they have found a security risk in over a million routers with UPnP. It effects many brands
http://www.csoonline.com/article/727...rom-upnp-flaws Here is a test for it https://www.grc.com/shieldsup My router Netgear WNDR4300 Last edited by Jetster; Feb 11, 2013 at 10:28 AM. |

Heard of this and my Amped Wireless R20000G and R10000 are not on any of the 3 lists!
http://remixedcat.blogspot.com/2013/...n-lots-of.html I have a link to the lists as well.... I did both tests with UPnP on and I passed and go the "not responding" message instead of rejected message which the not responding message is the best one. But both those routers ship with UPNP disabled.

I have one router plugged into the web and another router plugged into that. If the primary router is safe so is the second one correct?

Only if you are positive that the first router is not responding. If the first is passing it through to the second and the second is not responding, the first may still be vulnerable.

Because one I have to use because I get my phone through it. However its not really the best wireless. So I have another router hooked up to it for wireless. Tablets and smart phones just don't like the primary router. |

I run ShieldsUp! every once in a while since many years. Still trust it.
BTW, "REJECTED" is slightly less secure then "NOT RESPONDED"
