Can you keep using a router after firmware updates stop

Routers that no longer receive manufacturer firmware updates can continue to provide internet access if the hardware is still functioning. The risk is security, as new vulnerabilities may go unpatched for long periods and can be exploited for malicious traffic relays or to enlist devices into botnets. Users can reduce exposure by disabling remote management and changing administrator passwords. They should check model and hardware revision, confirm installed firmware and update status, and review vendor notices on support or end-of-life.
