Why is Linksys sending your Wifi details, as well as your private password, outside of your home
If they’re doing it, why are they sending your critically important private information unencrypted onto the public internet
The answer to the first one may be semi-legit as these are mesh products. As in, the other nodes in the mesh will need this information, and it appears that Linksys has decided to store your security data in AWS for the other mesh nodes to retrieve it when you’re setting it up. I’d sure as hell like to know this before the product does this. Further, I’d much prefer to simply attached to each mesh node myself to input the secured credentials instead of sending them outside to the internet.
There’s not excuse for Linksys sending the creds unencrypted onto the internet.
