Hi,
Those routers on the list is already past generation. I think not many
are on the air at present. My home network is based on ZyXel USG 20W
and Netgear R7000(either with Kong's dd-wrt or latest Beta stock f/w)
R7000 is overclocked to 1400,933 to gain a bit of more speed.

I knew there was a manufacturers back door in the damn things when I
called one of them for tech support and the gal in India said she could
see my router and set it up if I gave her a credit card number. The
Chinese have been found to be manufacturing back doors into the fraking
IC chips used by most manufacturers all over the world to build the
network routers and managed switches. I'll bet any IC chip foundries in
the U.S. have government orders to build a back door into the data
network and industrial control chips they manufacture. There are all the
secret rooms in telephone/data central stations containing the
government taps into the wired and fiber optic networks all over the
country which illustrates the ends government will go to to spy on
everyone, not just terrorists. It's ironic that citizens who oppose
government misconduct are suddenly labeled as terrorists. o_O

Back some years ago I watched a show about military Black Op's. It was
inferred that HP printers, at the request of the feds, placed devices
in printers that sent beacons, possibly to satellites.

Jet fighters could find the government buildings in the war with those
printers and discern them for guided bombings. Saved milk factories
and civilian areas.

The Feds have wanted back doors for years. Even in encryption.

I think I may have posted it to this group or another about how tech
can be turned against an attacker who possesses superior technology.
When President Clinton got The U.S. involved in the civil wars going on
in Eastern Europe, the rebels or whomever The U.S. military was
attacking, the ragtag insurgents were getting old microwave ovens,
taking the doors off, bypassing the safety interlocks, mounting them on
old junk trucks and using them to fool fighter jets into firing very
expensive HARM missiles at the cheap decoys. When the defenders powered
up the old microwave oven, it caused the threat warning system of the
fighter jets to go off making the pilot think a radar for a truck
mounted antiaircraft missile or machine guns was tracking the plane.
I'll bet the fellows on the ground could build scores of decoys for what
one HARM missile cost. ^_^

assuming fw has a fix. the port is used by vendors for possible remote support.

She has some interesting download links.

AudioDocs ... It takes any Microsoft Word DOC, .txt or PDF file and
converts it into a WAV file that you can listen to on iPods, CDs and
digital music players.

(might do E-Books files also,)

The Daring Dufas posted for all of us...

And I know how to SNIP

That's why they were called Radarranges he he he.
