Researchers have discovered that hackers can exploit these flaws to redirect your web browser to malicious websites, so it’s very important that you install the update that D-Link will be releasing for your router model just as soon as it becomes available.

If you have a D-Link DIR-820L, the firmware update for your router has already been released. You can download it right now by visiting this link:

  • DIR-626L
  • DIR-636L
  • DIR-808L
  • DIR-810L
  • DIR-826L
  • DIR-830L
  • DIR-836L

To check to see if the update has been released for your particular router model, visit the link above and then change the DIR-820L part of the website address to the model number of your router. Press the Enter key to go to the correct page.

You’ll know that D-Link has released the new firmware update for your router if the release date is any day in March 2015.
