Pending official Tenda firmware updates, CERT/CC recommends disabling remote web management wherever possible to prevent attackers from reaching the administrative interface over the internet. The organization also advises limiting local network exposure, noting that while changing a router's default LAN IP address may reduce opportunistic discovery by automated scanning tools, it does not protect against determined attackers performing targeted network reconnaissance.

TechieTwo SOS, DD. Time to buy a clue on router security. There are so many consumer grade routers that are totally insecure that is how massive attack bots are created. Reply
das_stig Yuo pay for what you get when it comes to Chinese products, but this plays right in to the hands of those wanting to ban them and in this case, I would ban all Tenda products until their firmware passes full inspection, regardless of the costs. For too long they have reaped benefits without consequences ! Reply
