I have an old #Netgear #R9000 WiFi #router acting as an access point. This router is end-of-life and supposedly no longer receives firmware updates; there was a security update last September, so it isn't _too_ stale.
Because it's serving as an access point it has no public IP address, though obviously a sufficiently dedicated attacker could literally sit outside our house and talk to it over WiFi.
If you were in my shoes, what would you do with this router?

@jik If it were me, I'd flash it with OpenWRT, cause I like tinkering with things knowing full well that I'll probably waste a day but have fun doing it.

For any sane person though, assuming it currently supports WPA3, I'd say "it's fine, leave it". If it doesn't support WPA3, I'd recommend a shiny new Unifi access point with 6GHz and Wifi 7. 💸

@surefire No WPA3.
