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 Thing is, unless you're being specifically targeted - in which case you're absolutely hosed no matter what - the chances of someone randomly picking your AP to break into are virtually nil. It's probably fine as it is and for years to come, at least until the Wifi spec it supports is entirely outdated.

I'd been using (Netgear Model Something) AP forever until I had enough hardware that supported Wifi7 to justify getting an upgrade to an AP that supported Wifi7.
