Hello. My ISP is Orange of France and I purchased from them last year the modem-router which I use as a modem-router. Its firmware version is 1.0.0.3 and has not changed since the date I purchased the modem-router from Orange. My airport base stations are both configured as bridges (not routing traffic). I use as firewall this modem-router's firewall.
I now have the certainty that as long as I will use this modem-router:
I will not receive automatic (nor manual) firmware updates from Orange; and
I cannot find firmware update files (at least 1.0.0.0 to 1.0.0.3) anywhere on the Internet;
Neither Arties (original maker) nor Orange carry on any work related to finding security holes and fixing them for this modem-router.
Should I bother ? Or is this a risk-free situation as the Orange tech told me today over the phone ?
TIA for any advice.
