Found out my router's firmware was 4 years out of date

Went into the admin panel yesterday to change my wifi password. Noticed a firmware update section I never look at. Last update was from 2020. Been running this thing since 2021 without ever checking. Anybody else forget about firmware until something breaks?

Better late than never, I guess your router's been living in the past too.

Gotta disagree a bit here. Routers don't live in the past, they just get outdated like everything else tech. Most people don't realize their ISP's modem is the real bottleneck half the time. Sometimes a simple reset is all it takes to fix things, not a whole new router.
