    • I liked Cisco Connect Cloud and ease of setting it up
    • I did create a Cisco Connect Cloud
    • FAIL on Connect Cloud
    • To enable this, future firmware updates will give our customers the choice to manage their network locally or by way of Cisco Connect Cloud."Having said that, I did choose to use the over the cloud stuff, and now that it's been running for a few weeks now, and I find it QUITE stable.
    • CISCO CONNECT CLOUD is a TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE idea - STAY AWAY!!
    • I am using Cisco Connect Cloud, i am comfortable with my security and privacy settings and love the CCC interface on my iPad and Chrome Browser.
    • The iPhone APP is a neat tool and look forward to the release of the Cisco Connect Cloud (Summer 2012).
    • I must admit though it was fairly easy, the thing that took most of my time was trying to tackle and avoid downloading CCC during its initial setup -- which seemed to be running on a fairly new but not the latest non-Cisco connect cloud firmware, other than that everything is up and running as we speak
    • After getting the router up and working I made the upgrade to Cisco Connect Cloud, because I don't really have a choice if I want to stay current with the router firmware
    • Even worse, the Connect Cloud firmware was forced on consumers without their approval or consent
    • Cisco Connect Cloud is a nightmare
    • My next step in this journey is to find a way to remove Cisco Connect Cloud from my router and downgrade to the previous firmware
    • One is more full featured, and called "Cisco Connect Cloud", which requires you to log in like you would in a browser.
    • The new firmware attempts to force online registration for Cisco Connect Cloud while connected to the Internet
    • What this means is that in order for you to access your OWN router, you have to register through the Cisco Connect Cloud and abide to their terms and conditions which include DATA MINING, INTERNET HISTORY BROWSING and a bunch of other agreement terms.
    • If you do not agree to sign up terms for Cisco Connect Cloud, the router will be crippled
    • Automatic firmware update on 06/26/12 which adds Cisco Connect Cloud makes this router a poor choice for those who manage their router settings manually and also removes security features including the ability to disable wireless SSID broadcast and Unsecured Guest broadcast if you choose not to register for Cisco Connect Cloud
    • does!One of the biggest things I like about the Connect Cloud is the iPhone apps available to configure your network remotely.
    • I'm eager to see how the Cisco Connect Cloud will work once it becomes available this Summer
    • There is an option in the config to disallow remote access to Cisco Connect Cloud, but the benefits of that would be unavailable to you
    • Logging into Cisco Connect Cloud is roundabout and clumsy
    • Last, and most important, CISCO CONNECT CLOUD IS AWESOME!
    • Cisco Connect Cloud will allow a secure connection to be made to a home network from a browser or mobile device
    • I've had this router about 45 days and has worked great UNTIL Cisco/Linksys moved to a new FW version (v2.1.+) that now implements the "Cisco Connect Cloud
    • Last, and most important, CISCO CONNECT CLOUD IS AWESOME!
    • Linksys has always made great networking hardware, but they have separated themselves from all the other good hardware out there with the awesome (and wordy) feature called Cisco Connect Cloud
