No for routers the problems aren’t being fixed. Most of the vendors are not putting
out fixes at a pace to match the risks.
It is also too hard to patch many of them, fix one should be make it auto-update or
at least make it know if there is an update. I have to Search for my model and
country on the vendor’s website to discover there are no new updates every few
months...
