Extending your point a little further, this is why I love creating threads about topics I know very little about. If I stumble across an article that touches on a topic interests me, but is something I know very little about, I'll post it somewhere on this board, and then just sit back and let the people who do know about it discuss it. It's that whole "if you're stupid, surround yourself with smart people; if you're smart, surround yourself with smart people who disagree with you" thing.

It's amazing how much I can gleam off an informed discussion by people who both know what they're discussing, and are clearly happy to be discussing it. It sounds kinda weird to me, but I learn much more from that than I do from asking specific questions and trying to understand their answers, or just reading from a book, etc. (Unless, of course, I have a specific issue I need help with.)

So which of those 2 are you again?

For the record, I never would have caught it, if it hadn't been pointed out.

I'm the dumb guy that surrounds myself with smart people that agree I'm the dumb guy.

Cisco is still scrambling.

After reversing the decision and providing an option to turn off the automatic updates, Cisco now says that it has simplified the opt-out process for users.

I still think they are acting like weasels, it sounds like they allow you to opt out of the automatic update but seem to bypass the cloud service issue. If there is a vulnerability found I'm betting any update will mandate their cloud solution.

I have the same router. I guess that makes us router-buddies!

This is the first router that I've never had to restart occasionally. My old Linksys WRT-whateveritwas was brutal.
