Over 25k Linksys routers vulnerable to sensitive information disclosure flaw

It would be nice if there was a home commercial product that cut out all the remote access or even local access, reduced feature set (I don't need NAS on my router), allowed admin access via a physical port only and thus cut out a lot of the attack surface area....

It shouldn't even be hard for Linksys (granted with their history I wouldn't trust them) or someone to provide that option. With a reduced feature set and etc maybe updates would be easier too.

Granted when it comes to home commercial routing products it looks like it is all about a bazillion new features (at least the way they look on the box / shopping sites) ... not less.

Ubiquiti Networks have their Unifi product line that sells to business but since they don't charge licence fees have become quite popular with keen home users.

There's regular firmware updates and the feature set is quite standard.

Though their routers and access points are separate: Eg: Their smallest router: https://www.ui.com/unifi-routing/usg/

Their cheap WiFi AP: https://www.ui.com/unifi/unifi-ap-ac-pro/

To configure the network you use their controller software, can be deployed on a raspberry pi but I just run it ad hoc on my laptop when I need to change some configuration.

I keep meaning to try them out, although I have a bit of trouble parsing their product lines / names at times ;)
