[PLUG] How to confirm my router is safe

[Russell Senior]

Attitude Adjustment is pretty old.  OpenWrt has a pretty good firewall by
default, so remote access should be difficult.  You should take note of
which packages you have installed, backup your settings, and then you could
try installing this, the most recent release version:


http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/17.01.4/targets/ar71xx/generic/lede-17.01.4-ar71xx-generic-wzr-600dhp-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

Development is currently converging on a new release (hopefully in the next
month or so, but I'd wait on that).
