1285906 2012-07-04 08:52:00 I would not be buying one of them (boingboing.net) now and if I had one I would be changing the firmware.:( mikebartnz (21)
1285907 2012-07-04 12:57:00 Wow, what a piece of crap!

I will not be buying from them again either, unless they take their heads out of their ass and back-step on this move.

1285908 2012-07-04 21:25:00 Well at least that's narrowed down the list of choices I have for my next router - thanks, Cisco, for making my life a little easier... MushHead (10626)
1285909 2012-07-04 21:34:00 I have a Linksys modem/router and the only way you can put new firmware into it is by downloading to your computer then installing it into the router via the router settings. It is only 3 weeks old. Am I concerned no. Sounds a bit like some scaremongering too me.

1285910 2012-07-04 21:41:00 since when do routers automatically download firmware??

they say in the article even if you set it to not auto update, they still can update it


that is so wrong, they'll even disconnect you for downloading pron

1285911 2012-07-04 21:46:00 Running a Cisco router with gargoyle firmware ... the Cisco firmware was rubbish and if you wanted to monitor any traffic, you had to upgrade the Cisco Firmware ... at a cost. SP8's (9836)
1285912 2012-07-04 22:41:00 They almost went the right way with their DD-WRT router they made specifically for customizing.... now this.

Most router manufacturers have good and bad products, personally i think cisco were pretty good. They made some quality and reliable products.

1285914 2012-07-04 22:47:00 The hell? This had better not be an indication of what I'm going to run into later on. Hell, my entire degree is majoring in Networking using THEIR equipment.

Bloody hell. If this is true, what a bunch of complete ****ing idiots.
