Should I upgrade my LinkSys WRT54GL firmware?
- by Reid
I have a LinkSys WRT54GL v1.1 which currently has stock firmware version 4.30.7. I see that version 4.30.14 is available. The router works fine now, and the release notes look uninteresting except for one line in v4.30.9: "Resolves issue with Linux kernel vulnerability".
I have remote management turned off.
I'm aware of the 3rd-party firmwares but the stock firmware works fine for me at the moment, so I don't have an interest in those.
Is the status quo fine or should I upgrade the firmware? (It's a bit of a pain since the config has to be saved and reloaded, and obviously any mucking with firmware is risky.)
