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.
What I'm wondering is why Netgear is only using the R7000 routers for firmware analytics. Is there some fundamental issue with the R7000 firmware that they are trying to nail down? Is this just part of a phased roll out to other models? If this is a phased roll out to all models, I would like to ask why the R7000 router was chosen, despite Netgear having more powerful consumer routers.
R7000 probably has the largest installed user base and a mature hardware product so my guess is makes most sense to roll it out on the R7000 first.
This reminds me of the VZIO TV scandal.
