To me the router is great but it misses the secure VPN home access . Just wondering why didn't they add it .
What do you guys miss in this router ?

Yes, I would still like to telnet into it for more detailed info.You do know about the sysinfo.cgi right?

Unlikely to happen. For some reason Linksys are so worried about keeping their design "secret" that even the internal serial port is read-only.
If they were really intent on keeping things "secret", they wouldn't even allow read-only. You can reverse engineer things without having write access to the CLI.
I don't think they're trying to keep secrets, particularly given the amount of information the sysinfo.cgi reveals. I just think they're trying to keep it stripped down and basic - less to support.
Once OpenWRT comes around, I would guess they'll stop supporting it altogether and just pass people off.
I have no other explanation as to why they would make the serial port read-only. It's not for security purposes, since accessing that port would require disassembling the front plate anyway. It's not to reduce support requests either, since that port requires kinda specialized gear and technical know-how to use. So all I can think is they are trying to hide something by preventing poking at it.
Unless you have another explanation.
Stability and stronger wireless.
No, I don't. I could certainly see them doing it to prevent someone from poking around but that would just be silly. You can still poke around in read-only mode. They're not actually hiding anything - you can still see everything, you just can't change it.
Interesting.
For me, it outperforms the R7000 in both areas, by far.
Amazing. Glad to hear it that it's working that well for you. Especially that the wireless strength is so much stronger than the R7000. While I'm sure that you're not unique, I find that especially interesting.
Just don't touch the router GUI while it's in operation.
And are you using wireless-AC at all, just curious about that?
