Netgear 0-day vulnerability analysis and exploit

The tough part in my opinion is the access point. You either have to:

- Put a wireless card in the router, but a lot of them are crap (limited features, not dual band, require closed firmware, not compatible with *BSD...)

- Buy an access point appliance, but most of them are as secure as the Netgear devices of the fine article.

1. The AP isn't directly exposed to inbound traffic from the internet.

2. You can put the AP's management interface on a VLAN without internet access and/or use firewall rules to the same effect.

I'm way less worried about the security posture of my AP than my internet-facing router.
