We will be offering firmware fixes available for download early next week. We do not have exact details yet but we can tell you now that each router's firmware that incorporates Parental Control as an option will be changed. Please expect more detailed information to follow early next week. Thank you.Imagine that... they listened to the community. Should they actually follow up on this and remove this abomination from their firmware, I'd suggest they should earn back some respect.
I'll look to see if they are making something I'd be willing to buy (buggy whips, perhaps?) in 200 years. The time to be cautious about your reputation is before you do some- thing criminally stupid.
