A dynamic DNS server provider says it will shut off access to a specific wireless router manufactured by Linksys Corp. on Dec. 8, unless the router is patched.

Dynamic DNS Network Services LLC, of Worcester, Mass., said its servers have been flooded with “bad hits” from the Linksys WRT54G wireless router since its inception, and has decided to take action. The company will block all access to its site from the affected router, unless they apply the patch that Linksys made available in mid-November.

The Linksys bug has emerged as router manufacturers try to make their products an integral part of networks used by home and small businesses.
