I don’t have a router.
Are you sure?
Almost all modems ISP’s are providing are also routers and firewalls nowadays.
Arris TM602g. No router.
how are you connected to the net?
found it https://www.arrisi.com/products/product.asp?id=81
if it dont have a firewall then i guess avast is right?
I’d think if it’s clear I have no router, it should also be clear that I must be connected to the net via this long, skinny thing called a “wire”.
No it is not…
i have a router … some computers are connected with wire and some are wireless
i can also connect direct to the cable modem … with wire.
And there is something called 3G/4G modem, they can also be built in to the computer
and then there is the old dialup modem
And there are versions of that modem that support wifi.
Not according to the Arris manual.
Often routers connect your LAN with a DSL-cable to the Internet. Your box instead connects to TV-cable and is called cable modem.
Besides the different wires they work similar looking from a distance.
So the message “router is open to hackers” may be right, as smart scan checks the security of that box.
More importantly, it also tells you how to fix your insecurity. Did you attempt to follow those instructions ???
yeah. when I click “Router settings” it goes to an unavailable web page. I think it’s just a false positive.
To what page/IP is it trying to go?
it’s trying to go to my ip address
If it’s an address like http:/10.1.10.1 it’s actually trying to open your router interface so you can make the needed changes to secure it.
To which of your IP addresses is it trying to go?
You have multiple.
the one that geobytes recognizes when I open that page
sorry, first 3 number groups are same as geobytes, but last on gb is 211 and it is trying to open 1
I don’t care what geobytes is saying.
I asked you to which one of your IP addresses it is trying to go to.
Obviously this is an avast problem. It’s trying to open a page that doesn’t exist. I’ll just contact support.
