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 I would flash it with DD-WRT but then again I am the kind of person who flashes brand new routers anyway, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. Realistically, I agree with what someone else said about your risk profile being super low.

Maybe it's a better use of your time to just do a quick sanity check that even if someone does get on your network, you don't have valuable information or anything sitting out in the open for them to find easily.
