- A real gap that affects every device sharing this Wi-Fi - It affects every device sharing this Wi-Fi - your work laptop, your phone, your kids' devices, your security cameras. Not the most urgent threat on the page, but a real edge an attacker can use to reach the rest.
- A small gap that still touches every device on this network - A small gap, not an urgent one - but it still touches everything on this network: your work laptop, your phone, your security cameras, and any guest device that joins the Wi-Fi.
This router gets the basics right, but the gaps are significant. The RV340 is manufactured in China. If any device on your Wi-Fi gets infected - a kid’s tablet, a smart bulb, a guest’s phone - it can reach your work laptop and banking app on the same flat network.
A C grade is not a sign-off. It means there are real, exploitable issues affecting this network every day.
