During installation, the router sent several data packets to an Amazon server in the US. These packets contained the configured SSID name and password in clear text, as well as some identification tokens for this network within a broader database and an access token for a user session that could potentially enable a MITM attack.

Linksys has refused to acknowledge/respond to the issue.

    Unifi is probably the best you’ll get for prosumer. Unfortunately it’s not without flaws either. I’d take it over the junk consumer brands any day still. Because I work in the industry and I like to use a lot more advanced things, I can’t get myself to use anything other than opnsense for home use. I have a protectli for hardware. You can install pfsense, opnsense, probably even ddwrt which is probably the most friendly of the bunch from what I hear. I use a ruckus poe fanless switch, but this is the least important for a typical home user network. Just get something that has poe and isn’t cloud managed 😂

      I thought Ubiquiti moved back to cloud managed on everything? Or is that just the network cameras?
