Model: Archer A20  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

I received new Archer A20 router yesterday. Later I read this warning from Threatpost (below). I don't know how to find what firmware is on the new router, and I don't think this one is included in the warning but want to be sure. Please advise.

You had me worried for a moment and I looked at the link (I too have the Archer A20). It is on an TP-Link Archer C5 v4 router which is similar. The page also states that TP-Link has updated f/w for that problem.

 

As for the A20 it appears from that page it is not considered vulnerable to the attack.

 

Archer A20(US)_V1_191026  is the latest F/W from earlier this month replacing the original f/w for the A20.

@vtolbert Firmware upgrade was recommended in Tether. Was able to complete that ok.
