Recurrent Security Gaps In 802.11ac Routers

Abstract In comparison to earlier IEEE 802.11 standard abgn routers todays popular 802.11ac standard routers have enhanced security. However 802.11ac router still has major security vulnerabilities. The novelty of this paper is that we not only highlight multiple security vulnerabilities in 802.11ac router technologies that still have not been secured since the earlier standards but also present some new ideas with solutions. We believe that our line of thoughts on security vulnerabilities gaps and on new solutions will provide network security researchers router manufacturers and network administrators with new disclosures to redesign even better security mechanisms in routers to counter attacks on networks via routers.
