Is it like Windows update, where Cisco will auto-update your router s/w and thereby brick it? If I don't register my router with Cisco, what do I lose? I can't update it manually?
And what happens when your *cough* "router" isn't actually on the Internet? How can it be managed and upgraded on a regular old network? ...
