    Ouch!

    Would putting Tomato/dd-wrt on your router help? Presumably not if they can flash the firmware again?

    Well the malware attacks that are starting to become more prevalent in that they attack routers from infected pc's to query default username and password is bad enough , but some of these vulns are just a complete mindFook as they can gain access to vulnerable models via a myriad of open windows and doors. Protocols that should be punched in the face , then look at us , not to name a certain isp who thinks firmware upgrades are just a frilly name on a pair of knickers. ( Some of the darknessCom routers around irleand are up to 20 FW updates behind - and more)

    Changing the default router usr and pass is one step (For internal malware attack at least) but how to you circumvent vulns on routers that are so far behind current updates ?

    That list above is for up to date routers in some cases . Home routers have been built upon Frogs n snails n puppy dogs tails.

    We're doomed! I really can't think of a way round this unless you build your own... I think Raspberry PI can be made into router?

    Pfsense I'm sure can run on a pi I think. Least back when I built one for load balancing wan connections um sure I saw a pi effort. USB LANs though and through puts and performance wouldn't be great from a pi with a few users and multimedia home .
