Re: [Vulnerability]--Linksys

I had a play with them while back and not what the typical home user needs. HyperWRT is also good linksys with a few addons or OpenWRT which is probabaly the best but you ave to compile and add modules on the router so rather time consuming. Maybe all of these are also open to the vunerabilaty.
