ASUS warns of critical remote authentication bypass on 7 routers - Lemmy

Friendly reminder that OpenWrt exists, and is probably safer than the stock firmware in any consumer router.

From a quick look, I see that at least one of the affected models has official OpenWrt support: the RT-AC68U

Friendly reminder that OpenWrt supports Raspberry Pi and every Pi from 3 onwards makes for a great, inexpensive router. Adding WiFi can be done with any off-the-shelf WiFi router or access point, brand new or second hand. Since they aren’t exposed to the Internet, remote vulnerabilities are significantly mitigated.
Yup. I use a CM4 with a DFRobot router board running openwrt. Works great.
