The RM-356 is a hardware router solution for home or small office networks. It is maintained and distributed by Netgear. Under some circumstances, a portscan of the router could cause a denial of service. It has been reported that portscanning a RM-356 with UDP causes the router to become unstable. This is usually accompanied by a crash, requiring a power cycling of the router to resume normal operation. It is also reported that this problem seems to affect port 161/UDP (SNMP) specifically. This problem has been reported to also affect the RT-338 models, and may affect others.
