Anyone on here use a Netgear router? I am surprised the R8000P only has one firmware update, and that is for this vulnerability. Does Netgear not update their firmware?

Yes but I run open source firmware on every router I can afford, regardless of brand. All router manufacturers really need to do is make their routers easy to reflash & not too difficult to write firmware for.

If you happen to use a WiFi modem, the router firmware is part of the modem code, all of which requires verification through DOCSIS engineering. I worked with them on several occasions, especially with the Older netgear 6300 series wifi modem.

I worked with them on several occasions,

I did beta testing of the C3700-N600(I think) and it was horrible. Packet loss and latency across the board with Wi-Fi. I tried to tell them not to use it, but they didn't listen. I tried to convince them to get a license with D-Link. That was back when D-Link was decent with routers like the DGL-4500. Even had a fancy dinner with some of the D-Link engineers.
