   >Solution
   >If users believe their router firmware may have been compromised,
   Linksys recommends that users download the latest available firmware
   from [2]http://www.linksys.com/support/ and update your router.

   >After the update, please perform a factory reset to ensure no remnants
   of the compromise remain.  Instructions on how to do a factory reset
   can be found [3]here.  If users are not able to perform a firmware
   update or receive an error message during the update, please contact
   customer support for further instructions.

   -----------------
   It isn't clear, but I don't see any indication that these remedial
   processes actually inform the owner of the router if it has been
   compromised.  Is that an accidental omission, or intentional?

   Might have a look at the dox attached to the wikileaks page. Linksys is
   probably just mass patching any possible infected routers and the
   "whether or not" isn't relevant to the process...imho.
