Just a warning (I can't see a similar one on the board).

If you have an Asus router there are several vulnerabilities that are currently being heavily exploited. Last weekend I was up early and noticed there was no internet connectivity, so I went to the router config page and could no longer log in. Factory reset and then latest firmware (I swear I checked fw updates 2 weeks ago and found nothing but there you go) and everything is back to normal (3200 router) however AI Protect IDS is showing 5-10 attempts a day at this remote execution vulnerability.

This may be old news to some.

If you have an Asus router, do yourself a favour and check for firmware updates. An attack like this could allow someone to change you settings (think DNS) which with a bit of effort from them could be nasty.

ETA - details here

Good Luck all!
