Similar vibes to a single, older, creepy gentleman telling a group of young school children at the park not to talk to strangers.

so NSA installed a backdoor to each router and now needs you to restart it to open the backdoor?

No, the old one wasn't good tested and it hang the router. They will send a new one OTA on the next reboot.

Reminder, HN, you all live in the real world. Chinese state sponsored cyber threat actors use orb networks that are primarily made via strung together off the shelf routers. The literal companies that build and maintain these ORB networks also resell this capability to Russian military intelligence and cyber threat actors.

In this day and age, and we still lack formally-proven, FOSS/FOSHW, minimal consumer edge routers and WiFi APs.

This is by design. Those who control the past (network traffic), control the future (network traffic).

"Replace outdated routers" yeah good luck with that, they're all banned.
