Is there anything at all we can do to protect ourselves until our router gets patched?
From the earlier thread [1] I gleamed that maybe a MAC filter could help, but it sounds like that's not going to help much because MAC addresses can be easily spoofed.
The article here recommends sticking to sites with HTTPS, which isn't really something we always have control over, and isn't something we can realistically expect our non-technical WiFi users to be able to strictly adhere to.
VPNs were also suggested, but again, mandating that everybody on our WiFi must connect through a VPN is rather impractical, and I'm personally not sure which VPN providers are supposed to be trustworthy to begin with.
If people here have other suggestions, I'd love to hear them.
