Germany proposes security guidelines for routers, but not everybody is happy

German government has published draft guidelines on how it believes broadband routers should be secured. Wireless routers should use as a minimum WPA2 encryption. Any pre-configured configuration password used with factory settings must not be shared by multiple devices from the same manufacturer. Users using guest Wi-Fi services should not have any access to the routers configuration. Remote access should only be possible via an encrypted, server-authenticated connection. Automatic firmware updates should be offered and activated by default (although it must be possible for a user to deactivate this.”]
