Thankfully I have an older WNDR3700 and I remain unaffected.
However seeing mention of (and an implementation of) Dual_ECC_DRBG in the slides immediately gives me a lot of pause regarding the security of my router. I love memes more than the next guy but this guy really went out of his way to make this confusing to understand.

Hah! A Dual_EC_DRBG implementation would be an infinite improvement over the highlighted random number generator (which just calls libc functions srand(3) and rand(3)).
