Routers are cheap. I'd bash the thing inside out and send it to their headquarters, after having replaced it with a competing brand that doesn't demand spying rights.

Forget that. The company is probably ran by closet libs/commies and they will shut off your internet for posting on ARF.

I agree that this sucks (and was a huge PR mistake on their part IMO), but it only affects a few models, and you can downgrade the OS to avoid the issue. Apparently the upper management did it to try to improve the service by looking at aggregate usage data, over the objections of the engineers.

Quoted: DD-wrt I'm familiar with that, and Tomato for the older units. I had an old Linksys running Tomato for a while. Today, I've got a Netgear that my PS3 likes a whole lot more than the old Linksys. I'm thinking this is a terrible PR decision for Cisco. |

If this is true, I can see IT guys recommending family and friends to buy anything except Cisco for a home router. Maybe not much on their bottom line, but their PR could suffer big time. |

Pleaee highlight in your favorite color where it says that: Owners of Cisco/Linksys home routers got a nasty shock this week, when their devices automatically downloaded a new operating system, which locked out device owners. |

When owners of the E2700, E3500, or E4500 attempted to log in to their devices, they were asked to login/register using their "Cisco Connect Cloud” account information. The story that’s emerged from this unexpected "upgrade” is a perfect example of how buzzword fixation can lead to extremely poor decisions. |

DD-WRT has been good to me.
Most of my network functions any more advanced than the firewall are handled on my server anyway. Couldn't ever get the DD-WRT VPN to work. |

No shit they are fucktards!! My dumb ass just bought an EA2700 two weeks ago.
I may take it back to walmart. To roll the software back, I have to unplug it plus reinstall software. I could just as easily put it back in the box and return it. What does the Hive recommend as a replacement if I do? |

I'd love to see them try this with their IOS-based products. I'm a huge Ciso fanboy and I realize their Linksys products are crap, but this is a ridiculously bad way to handle any part of their business.

If they did that with their IOS products they would lose customers enmasse. I rolled back my EA4500 it was not an issue that caused me a great deal of heart burn . I just won't be giving them more patronage for their home consumer products. I am willing to bet they get sued over this as well. This is prime class action territory and was clearly a bad move on their behalf. |
