Netgear router flaws exploitable with authentication ... like the default creds on Netgear's website

Re: A basic approach

Same here using a Netgear Nighthawk connected to Comcast's cable modem. We've switched ISPs three times in the past 4 years (originally on an AT&T DSL, then "upgraded" to U-verse (bleh!), then moved to Comcast), and none of our connected devices even noticed. I've never been one to trust connecting computers/phones/etc directly to the ISPs device, I've always used my own AP/router to at least give the Bad Guys/script kiddies one additional little speed bump to get past in their quest to commandeer my home network.
