I have a 5 year old Linksys BFSR11 router with the latest firmware.
An IT guy at work says that I should replace it since the bad guys have
found ways to circumvent it's defenses. I doubt it.
Even if I use a software firewall like ZA-Free or Comodo, am I vulnerable?

Any opinions?

I WAS using the default password and have changed it.
Thanks for all the replies.
