Cisco Wants Your Porn

[Xiahou]

Cisco Connect Cloud gives you anytime, anywhere access to your home network.

Yeah... we already had that- it's called a VPN. The people who need it, know what it is and how to use it. The people that don't.... don't. Also, what kind of "apps" could they possibly put on your router that the average user would care about?

This requires more research, but if even half of it is true, I'll actively discourage anyone I know from purchasing Cisco's home equipment. They're home stuff has been kinda junky for awhile now anyhow- but this takes the cake. The last piece of Cisco home equipment I used was the venerable Linksys wrt54g. When it finally cooked itself, I bought a very nice Buffalo router that sports 802.11N and gigabit wired ports.

Cold. Dead. Hands.

For security purposes, the first thing I always do when setting up a router is to disable router control from the wireless and WAN. Now they are forcing you to use external control?
