Seems the IoS [1] is plumbing new depths:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Group-Gear-...dp/B06Y6CKPZG/ 13A wall socket with an inbuilt wifi router. What could go wrong? 1. A metal pattress is hardly the best place to put a piece of radio gear 2. I bet there are no firmware updates 3. When you need to reboot your router, you have to powercycle your house Sigh... [1] https://twitter.com/internetof****?lang=en |

A metal pattress is hardly the best place to put a piece of radio gear I suppose it might help stop it radiating its signal through a party wall and your neighbours trying to piggyback onto it  2. I bet there are no firmware updates Sellers seem to refer to the manufacturer's website for firmware updates, but without an account, you can't delve any deeper, so I have no idea what's available. 3. When you need to reboot your router, you have to powercycle your house One of the buttons on the frontplate is a device reset button according to the retailer's website that I looked at. SteveW |
