Last week, a number of Cisco customers began reporting problems with three specific Linksys-branded routers. When owners of the E2700, E3500, are E4500 attempted to log in to their devices, they were asked to login/register using their ???Cisco Connect Cloud??? account information. The story that’s emerged from this unexpected ???upgrade??? is a perfect example of how buzzword fixation can lead to extremely poor decisions.
