Its not just the hardware that is earning the CLS ratings. It is firmware as well. Giving a router 4 stars can give a false sense of security as new vulnerabilities emerge. CSA needs to bind their CLS certification to both the hardware and software of the router.

They do both; software-wise, they can only assess the easy of updating and support time frame. The speed of which firmwares can be churned seems like another level of assessment :-x But nevertheless, it's a good point.

even with certification on the product, IF the end user dunno what their are doing, like randomly open port for their devices (IoT) and set simple password because well, it's easy to remember... then there will always a security risk.

That's a sad outcome, but we agree... a poor implementation just negates the point of getting suitable gear.
