Looking for feedback: Anyone considering AiCloud important to them?

[doczenith1]

So am I right this setting is automatically enabled and ok to leave it at that? Never used AiCloud before or even navigate to that page. Behind CG-Nat anyway.

Seems like you've had plenty of responses but none directly answering your question. I am fairly certain that the setting in your screenshot is a default as my router is the same and I've never used AiCloud. Based on that my answer to the second part of your question is that it's ok to leave it that way.

Yes. In Asus-Merlin the Enable Password Protection Feature default setting is enabled/on even when one doesn't have any other AiCloud 2.0 features (Cloud Disk, Smart Access, AiCloud Sync) enabled.

Thank you both, hard to get straight forward answers lately.
Hopefully all these feedbacks will be useful for @RMerlin going forward.

I just logged into a router that I manage and needs updated as it's a few updates behind, specifically before the Cloud Disk issues. It did not have Cloud Disk or the other stuff enabled, but that password button was set to off by default as it's never been used. I turned on the password button until I can update the firmware as I know the more recent updates have it on.

Anyone reading this may want to check the setting on their routers to ensure the password button is on.

Password on or off made no difference to the recent malware. Just don't use it.

It has defaulted to Off on my router as well. This seems to be the default when looking at the source code (link).

That is strange as it's on on my router (never used it). Seems different models have different defaults.
