And add to that most people don't disable UPNP management in router config. Linksky and firmware developers should make it so UPNP is disabled out of the box. But then newbies could not use the "easy button" to set-up. So security takes a back seat for ease of installation. As Ben stated linksysinfo.org has resources and firmware comparisons, descriptions of hardware diffs and pros and cons, and articles listing serial numbers and hardware version numbers to help identify specific hardware characteristics (you need to know to select third party firmware). See the "firmware tracker" article for resources regarding third party firmware support. Note the site is not updated as often as it once was so the firmware listings not very up-to-date. (since Jim Depew days) . Downloads area is temporarily down. No new articles, reviews or tutorials of recent vintage. Since the start of the year almost all of the sites news is Cisco marketing press releases. Besides a few mentions of Tomato firmware, not much news about firmware releases A little tweedy bird told me Cisco took some control away from original site owners in return for site owner to continue to use the "linksys" brand in their domain name (they retain all the Google and Amazon ad revenue but can't say anything negative about Linksys or they lose the domain name). Will need to ask Simon about that. Anyway there is always the forums. http://www.linksysinfo.org/forums/index.php _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list euglug@euglug.org http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
