Rather than fixing its old routers, D-Link is telling customers to upgrade
If your router had a severe security vulnerability, and it was a router that was still being updated within the last decade, you'd probably expect it to still receive an update to fix whatever the security vulnerability was. After all, Microsoft has even done that a couple of times with Windows XP when critical exploits like WannaCry are discovered in the wild. However, that isn't the case with D-Link, and if you're an owner of an older router, then not only are you vulnerable to a remote code execution attack, you'll need to purchase a whole new router to make yourself safe.
