07-04-2012 11:53 PM #5This stuff should be taken to court. Seriously, you spend money on the product the product is yours to do whatever you want. However, if you sign up for a service (such as the cloud) then I can see them being a bit stricter. This stuff is getting a little out of hand.

07-05-2012 11:38 PM #12I figured it was. Every search term I tried with Cisco came back with too many related terms message so I just posted it. Originally Posted by chaser7783

07-06-2012 12:20 AM #14ESR made a post about it today.
Cisco provides a lesson
Ugly stuff. If I can't install DD-WRT or Tomato on a router for my next purchase, I'm not going to get it.

07-06-2012 01:51 AM #15You find an ass-kicking mini-itx board and case, preferably low-power netbook/nettop CPU/APU, and roll it together with some Linux and you have yourself a home gateway router/server. They have server boards that are ideal for it. Originally Posted by kevozz

07-06-2012 01:52 PM #17Like Qord said; another reason to use DD-WRT or tomato. I haven't personally used tomato, but I run DD-WRT at home so that things like this won't ever happen. Though, most ISP's can monitor your outgoing traffic.

For the outgoing traffic monitoring, I noticed the other day that TWC was monitoring my search requests and offering "search help" when a url/search term wasn't found. Essentially, they are monitoring all of my traffic so they can offer me a "service." Keep your service. I'm proxying through a VPS from now on.

07-07-2012 07:30 PM #19I've got the EA4500 and this didn't happen to me. I'm guessing this only happened to the people who used the software CD that comes with the router?
