Netgear 0-day vulnerability analysis and exploit

Highly recommend the synology line of routers. I've deployed a few of them for neighbors and have gotten exactly 0 calls. They mesh over wired or wireless, and for all of their faults Synology does a pretty good job of releasing software updates for their products for WAY longer than any other vendor I've worked with.

Just make sure you use the 2600AC as the primary router, the 2200s can technically function in that role but are pretty under-powered.

Does the 2600 allow you to set a static DFS channel? It looks like it might support an auto-switch mode but I can’t find anything specific.

>static DFS channel

This is a contradiction. The whole point of DFS is "if you detect radar on this frequency you must stop transmitting on it". This is typically followed by a change of channel to avoid an outage of the Wi-Fi, hence "dynamic frequency selection".

I know how it works. Static was the wrong word, but my current router (Netgear) lets you set a primary DFS channel, and based on my tests, the channel selected does affect performance.

As far as I can tell, there isn’t even a way to perform auto DFS selection on my current router.
