How original of them! But for other router manufactures present on this list, make notice - DO NOT DO IT IN YOUR OWN PRODUCT EVER. I (and from newsgrousp there are appears to be many others with same opinion about it) do not want routers modifying my network packets without my knowledge about it and definetly not for marketing of your own products.
Note, I am no legal professional here, but to looking forward to others being stupid; In the UK I am reasonable certain that this breaks a number of separate laws that no amount of "EULA" type small print can get around. For those interested, I suggest looking at the protection offered (assuming this product is sold to consumers in the first instance) the various "Sale of Goods" acts, UK and EU "unfair terms in [consumer] contracts" ("but the small print says..."), "computer misuse act" (modification of data without permission), data protection (leaked URLs) and I am sure many more. Now if only we had government departments that actually cared and helped lean on these types of idiot. I hope that the US - the largest single market for technology products I assume - has a similar bunch of useful [consumer] law. Peter
