Cisco ea3500 cloud connect firmware or not?

[mogulman]

Just got a new ea3500. Is there any reason for me to install the cloud connect firmware? I don't need to manage my router remotely or from a smartphone.

Is it being able to access USB connected media? Or can I get to other types of devices. Dlna stuff?

Are the parent controls worthwhile or is norton stuff better?

The EA series routers will continue to ship with Cisco Connect Cloud (CCC) firmware. I would give it a try and see for yourself. You can always load the non Cloud firmware to get rid of CCC.

We will have a review of CCC next week that may answer some of your questions.
