Nighthawk D7000 ADSL Router - Obsolete out the box
Spent a lot of money on a D7000 nighthawk router, but its go so many issues its only just usable, and netgear are no longer supporting it despite the fact there still selling it. The VPN software is obsolete (iPhones, android and windows now treat it as insecure and won't connect to it). The Media sharing software is obsolete, and you have to significantly turn down windows security settings to make it connect to it, it also has a load of issue with permissions (you can't rename files, you have to copy and delete). Information about its vulnerability to the VPNFilter malware is sketchy (given other routers in this range have been confirmed to be vulnerable). Basically it was obsolete when it came out the box, and Netgear can't even be arsed to update a few bits of open source software and provide a firmware update. Exactly what you expect from a cheap unbranded £15 ADSL router, not a £150 one. Very disappointing.
