Re: Safe home router ?
To protect against mass attacks like these, all you have to do (regardless of vendor, model, or any patches) is make sure it doesn't have any open ports to the outside. There are SOME exceptions to this (and UDP services and such can be hard to spot in a scan), but it's a damn good start.
Also, disable UPnP so stuff on your LAN won't be exposed inadvertently.
