  1. Thanks for the heads up!

    Be careful before you update the bios if you have one of these babies.

    Previous Linksys bios updates have caused issues with EQ. Things like going linkdead EVERY 12 minutes.

    In most situations, the attacker would already need to be on a computer connected to the network to execute an attack. However, if the router has a 'remote management' feature enabled, a malicious hacker could execute an attack from anywhere on the Internet by entering the IP (Internet Protocol) address of the router along with the name of the script into his or her Web browser.

    Seems to me all you have to do is turn off the "remote management" and keep your local LAN secure.

    I would NOT update my bios until someone attempted to DOS me.
