All the posts I've seen about the injection issue pertain to:
VULNERABLE:
DI-624 Revision B, firmware up to 1.28 (latest)
It is *highly* probable that other models are affected too.
This one is version C with 2.42 Firmware. May still be an issue, but for now
DHCP is the least of my worries.....
As far as looping goes, I'm not sure what we're talking about anymore and
could really use some help from the big guns who have done this before. As
near as I can tell, the Dlink should be sending requests to the router which
should be sending them to the internet. The path to my VPN just happens to
come back through a shared gateway. The dlink servers ONLY one wireless
laptop.
