Netgear Data Collection
https://hothardware.com/news/netgear-adds-data-collection-to-r7000-router-firmware Any opt out? Mdoerator please find out. Thanks.
Hello everybody, here is our latest update regarding Router Analytics Data Collection.
FURRYe38 while that's a technical workaround I don't think it's anywhere near acceptable in terms of the concept of an opt-out.
It can be disabled during the process.
So thats how Netgears plans to get the information for it's qos updates let the routers report back about the traffic on the router.
Are you sure thats the only data they are collecting?

No but it makes sense they would need a consatnt source of data to try to keep up with new games and services I am sure if they can they will find other ways to used the data collected. Makes one wonlder what is big brother up to when they spy on your router at the firmware level and if you disable the feature is it really disabled.
