Cloud-based configuration? Isn't that virtually always a terrible idea security wise for a router? Is it another form of "lawful intercept"?


Depends on if you think un-updated, bad PRNG devices are better.


This isn't an "either-or" situation. You can have an auto-updating router which doesn't depend on configuring via a third party service.


Not really. If the router auto-updates, it has to get that update from somewhere. If anything, being able to push firmware is more powerful than being able to push configuration.
