SharePort is under Settings. Recommended to be disabled by the Singapore advisory notice.

Factory reset won't affect the time setting?

Any Asus AC routers will be compatible with TIME.


Not yet. It will be released on September 21, for the specific firmware for Malaysia.

Well, you should be, to be honest. There are a lot of malicious things that could be done, with a compromised router, but don't worry too much about it. Just update to the secure firmware when it it released on Thursday.

Nah, just wait for the updated firmware to be released.

See here: http://www.dlink.com.my/securityadvisory-msia/

It will and you will have to set everything up again if you do the factory reset.

Oh ya didn't do factory reset. Don't think it matters, and would probably mess up the connection. So better not.

I just disabled SharePort and made sure remote management is off (it is off by default).

that's the thing, cause I wouldn't know how to set them all up again.

Just don't do it. You don't have to do it as jetwash said. Just disable remote management and disable SharePort and change your default username and password.

Alright will go back and try.

Anyway, I just watched the Security Now podcast on Youtube. The kinds of vulnerabilities this router has cannot be mitigated by a simple password change. If you can, change back to the original one TIME gave you, or get a cheap replacement.

But how malicious can these vulnerabilities get? I'm fairly indifferent right now but perhaps am I underestimating how bad would it get?

Having said that I'm pretty sure those outside of tech circles (say, 90% of subscribers?) won't even know this is happening

These things thrive on people's indifference lol.
It may not affect you directly immediately, but imagine someone unlucky gets their entire traffic sniffed, it's a hell of a lot to lose.
I am also fairly sure if I go mamak tonight I will see this model lol.

Someone could get entire access to your router. After that, they can do whatever they want on your network. Keep in mind that your router is like the gate and door to your house, both in one package. Someone that have access to both can do anything they want to your house and you.

Well, that's the reason why I always see Dlink routers on port sniffing websites and their security is pathetic, especially the majority of compromised DLink routers are from Malaysia. As Lord_Ashe said, they thrive on people's indifference.

I doubt mamaks would use the 850l. The signal is very poor

mamak nearby my house use Asus wan with Time business

99% of DIR-850L owners won't know or do anything about this. My friend dun even know where his router is. Under the stairs, behind the TV or in the back store room? Weekend gotta go cari for him.

Anyone from Prisma Cheras Condo facing TIME network speed very slow today... some time around 6mbps.... upload speed worse around 1mbps....
