Cisco Connect - Bad Design

Linksys E4200 Maximum Performance Dual-Band N Router IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n, IEEE 802.3/3u/3ab

Pros: So far, seems great. Excellent coverage and speed.

Cons: The setup CD works perfectly. Extremely easy to get operational in a very short time. HOWEVER, the software gives the router's wireless password and the router's Admin password the SAME password value. Thus, everyone that has wireless access has admin access to your router when using the web interface. You can change either password via the web interface and your security is then OK. BUT...... if you try to use the Cisco Connect software again (which was installed automatically on your PC), it will complain and force you to change the passwords back to the same value. This "feature/bug" was verified by Cisco Support. Therefore, the Cisco Connect software is really of no value once you have performed the initial install. No need to leave it installed on you PC.
