Also, just cause my house is newer, doesn't make me invulnerable either. Your point on router firmware not being that secure, is a fine example of that. I may be a smaller target, but doesn't mean that I'm safe. IMHO, to say that smartphones are more secure because they lack the vulns of desktops doesn't make sense to me. It's like saying because I have a smaller house then you, I'm more secure from a break in.
#ACCESS EERO ROUTER FROM WEB BROWSER FULL#
We enable the lowering of product quality and give up full control of the devices WE OWN through apathy and ignorance. And to my regret I supported it, albeit accidentally, and am lazy enough I'll probably not make the effort of returning and finding a better system.
#ACCESS EERO ROUTER FROM WEB BROWSER SOFTWARE#
This is not a customer-friendly change the services, family controls, limiting, etc exist in 3rd party packages, exists in web-interface-LAN-only routers, but the router manufacturers want to capture the money going to 3rd party providers of safety/filtering/monitoring/etc software and put it in their own pocket by offering no option but integrating their routers with their external web services. If it weren't about money, upselling services, and capturing data by forcing the routers to work through their services, they'd just have an app with a webview of the existing router web admin interfaces. In fact, it creates a much, much larger security exposure area by having the routers connect to external services (the manufacturers' networks) outside the local LAN to enable the mobile app use. More money from us to the manufacturers' for services, more money to the manufacturers because they now have access to our digital profile and activities to bundle and sell to advertisers. To summarize: the move to mobile apps is about MONEY. Oh and of course they also get to harvest analytics, tie to tracking cookies and profiles, etc by existing on your primary mobile device(s). This is core to Eero's profitability plan which is based on selling additional services over the router's core functions. That allows them to give monitoring and configuration access, including family/child restrictions, "spam" and "hacking" "protections", etc served outside your home LAN to your mobile app. By using a mobile app they are rearchitecting the system to have your router connect to and send data through the manufacturers' web services, which the mobile app then connects to under the guise of 'access from anywhere!' as valuable. Richard1864 Mobile admin interfaces are coming out for two primary reasons:ġ) They want to appeal to the growing population of customers who primarily use mobile phones and tablets rather than traditional desktop and laptop computers, which also means it's a less technically savvy group of users who don't take issue with this restructuring as they don't understand the negatives.Ģ) They want to connect your home network use to add-on application/feature sales. If the company is truly a smart company they would do things that make the end-user happy they purchased the NEST product. The idea of my information being streamed over the Internet to an Amazon server only to then purchase the right to View my data does not make much sense to me. Now, I’m thinking about switching from Nest to a closed circuit. Also it would be nice for Nest to let their camera owners have access to the port numbers that should be used and can be forwarded for more control but, I cannot find in any discussion on any form where nest has made the port numbers available. One of them is an IQ outdoor the other is an IQ indoor.
And I think it’s very strange how it happened. A mixture of outside & inside, IQ & standard. I am starting to become better when I think about NEST and how many cameras I purchased. It’s probably easier to gain access to personal information if you are running an app on a customers phone 🆚 a desktop.
