IP-Time N608
Important. This router has been sold by IP-Time since at least 2010. Unless a major feature, impacting the security of the router, is deployed on the router post CRA-enactment, it will not be required to comply with the CRA.
This Fast Check is for information purpose only.
I46’s analysis finds that this router is poorly secured and fails to meet all the requirements of the Cyber Resilience Act. Indeed, during the analysis of the router, i46 found that three core requirements of the CRA were not met:
Annex I, paragraph (b): “be made available on the market with a secure by default configuration, unless otherwise agreed between manufacturer and business user in relation to a tailor made product with digital elements, including the possibility to reset the product to its original state”;
Annex I, paragraph (d): “ensure protection from unauthorised access by appropriate control mechanisms, including but not limited to authentication, identity or access management systems, and report on possible unauthorised access;”
Annex I, paragraph (j): “be designed, developed and produced to limit attack surfaces, including external interfaces;”
Below, i46 details a few core features of the router, and provides their compliance findings for each of them.

Compliance Table
Feature | Findings | Compliance with the CRA |
|---|---|---|
Unique Password | The default password of the device is admin/admin. | 🔴 No |
Strong password enforcement | No | 🔴 No |
Minimal surface (physical) | The device includes RJ-45 ports, power and reset ports | 🟢 Yes |
Minimal surface (software) | Port 80 (http) is open | 🟢 Yes: this port is required for device management. |
Minimal surface (software) | Port 3000 (ceph) is open | 🔴 No: This service should be optional (and closed by default) (Severity: Medium) |
Minimal surface (software) | Port 55555 (http) is open | 🔴 No: Having a web server that allows remote execution on the device is bad practice. It is not clear why this function is required and highly likely, this function can be replaced with a more secured method. (Severity: Very High) |
As shown in the above table, the IP-Time N608 fails i46’s Fast Check.
While the device does not need to comply with the Cyber Resilience Act, due to being manufactured before the Act’s enactment, it bears highlighting that the weaknesses identified during the Fast Check means that businesses and people wishing to use this router should proceed with caution.
