I had a similar problem some time ago with the Network Inspector identifying my SKY hub router having a weak password which I found hard to believe. I posted this notification to SKY who siad there is nothing weak about the password and suggested I take no further action with the AVG program.
Anybody with any suggestions thay may help me access my Router Hub so I can have another try to solve this issue?

Thank you Dinesh for your speedy reply. However, as mentioned earlier, I cannot proceed with the
Network Inspector prompt to access the Sky router hub because all attempts to login have failed. I have been advised that the Username is admin and the password is the WIFI letters on the back of the hub.
This does not work ! You state " While reaching your router support…then proceed to log in to the router page to close it, if required." The problem is I cannot log in.
Please take note of the following comments made by Sky after I contacted them as you suggested,
"quote"All Sky Hubs have open ports that Sky themselves use for remote access to firmware: that is standard practice for ISP hardware. Remember that it's in the interest of 'security suite ' vendors to appear to be doing things, even when these things are not generally considered to be significant "unquote".
Under these circumstances, I will not use the Network Inspector scan in future and consider this matter now closed. However, if you wish to comment on the above, I would be interested in what you have to say.
We understand your concern, Fred.
We'd like to inform you that open router ports aren't dangerous by default, rather it's what you do with the open ports at a system level, and what services and apps are exposed on those ports, that should prompt people to label them dangerous or not.
If your router support have informed you that this is safe & common practice, then you can ignore the notification from the AVG Network Inspector
Let us know if you have further queries.
Thank you for sharing us the screenshots, Fred.
