Hi, soz if there is a C50 thread but I did search and look. surprised that there isn't one already because mine has served me well! no issues with its' performance, reliability, etc. working with a ZyXEL (HitronTechnologies) Cable Modem DOCSIS 3.0 (CDA30360) on TWC (Spectrum) internet only! I've started this thread because researching the Krack hack and update patches I've uncovered questions about my model, the C50, separate from the hack and associated update fixes so... will post them here in hopes of answers! :cool:

Router Mode or AP Mode on my Archer C50
2017-10-19 21:40:31
hi, can someone instruct me on how to put my ArcherC50 into Router Mode or AP Mode? or where to find instructions? ... because i think we will not be getting a firmware patch after reading the sticky! and getting a security patch for my android phone (Moto X Pure) is a fantasy due to the fact that i still don't have nougat!!! lol

thnx for the post el! i understand the proximity thing and i guess that's a good thing about this vulnerability but
i'm a noob so... how would i hide the SSID? would a vpn for my router do any good? (i have seen those i think and i do use vpn's on my phone but am not sure of the protection provided against this attack)

posting answers from the Krack thread so gonna assume no firmware update is forthcoming but also that the vulnerability is still open for clients! my chromebook is wired so no threat there (?) but as for my android phone... ugh!!! (my Moto X Pure still waiting for Nougat! :p)
