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. |
That article seems to be the lightening rod - I've seen other posts referring to it. No idea how much of a head of steam this is going to get.
