The FCC in USA has banned most Chinese made routers, if you have a router that is over 3 years old you should look at replacing it with a authorised router.
keeping your router up to date with security updates is one of the most important parts of your network, this device handles all internet facing traffic and is the first point of interest for any hacker that is looking to gain access, steal data or presume your identity.
the US government is NOT saying chinese routers are not secure we believe they are concerned that with 95% market share the chinese government could do something with these cheap routers if the time came and the chinese government thought it would be usefull (in a time of war etc)
if you are looking to replace your router we would reccomend looking at a open source router O/S such as Luci / OpenWRT and check for updates daily. we have remote maintenence packages for your local networks, get in touch today.
