This is not a security forum, but be aware that most consumer
grade "routers"/"modems" are vulnerable to other issues (and
a lot of the D-Link/Linksys/Asus/Netgear's of the world are
usually not all that interested in upgrading your firmware for
a one year old unit with fixes; they make money when you buy
a new unit, not fixing old ones). Look up various upnp, dns
poisoning issues in the usual places.
So, "safe" is, as you say, relative.
