I tend to read through the threads only understanding about every ten words but can't seem to stop. Fan's post above is the perfect example of something I have no idea what he was talking about.

Anybody want to know some law talking words? I am good at those!!
I try not to cause the whoosh I like to help/educate where I can.

I don't have anything to add to this thread since I've not used any of the current Linksys/Cisco offerings. My general advice is to buy the best quality "no-frills" router you can - something without filtering, sharing, apps, etc. Routers should route, and everything else just adds instability and weird situtations like this fiasco.

Speaking of which, is this getting any air time/geek outrage/media play other than the original article linked? It seems absolutely incredible/unbelievable that they'd remote update firmware without intervention.
