I have linksys routers. I install dd-wrt on them. Its
then a linux router that has tons of features. One of the
features is the
ability to set them up linked to each other,
so I can use them to widen the
wifi coverage and increase the
signal strength at my house. We have also done
this at my
church. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

In many, if not all, EU countries the forced 'update' and its conditions would
be a criminal offense and in breach of EU privacy rules. Somebody could well
serve time and there are other penalties[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

- as they have a Linux-based wireless router where the OS can be replaced by
the user. No more Cisco for me. Bye, Linksys, it was nice to know you. Sorry
about the acquisition, but you really should not have done business with the
Ferengi.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

If this happens to you, I have a proposal:
1. Take your router which
they have so considerately bricked without even bothering to ask
2. Put it
in a convenient place, like your driveway or a big steel pot
3. Baste
liberally with gasoline, kerosene, lighter fluid, etc.
4. Light it off,
being careful to keep fingers, arms and eyebrows well back
5. Wait a
bit
6. Scrape up the remains, put 'em in a box and mail it to
Cisco
And include a nice little note explaining why you did it and what
you think of 'em
If just one person does it they may think he's really
sick.
If two people do it, well they'll think they're both kinda
strange.
If three people do it they may think it's an organization.
And
can you imagine if fifty people, fifty people a day mailed in their
burnt
crispy Cisco routers, then friends, they may think it's a
movement.

Or did some of us get it wrong? It seems that their homepage has instructions to
roll back the update and prevent it reappearing. Perhaps a marketing suit hoped
nobody would notice and they'd generate a potential new revenue stream? On the
other hand it could just be a silly by somebody?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
