No snooping if you lock it down.

only problem is they are stuck on Windows configuration for which they
give you a CD. So you can:

This was my experience, as well. They *only* support Windows. If I call
them with a problem, they argue with me about what OS I'm running.
It is either MacOS or some version of Windows. I've had one tell me
repeatedly that I was running Windows XP, while I told him repeatedly
I wasn't running any version of Windows. Finally, I told him I was
running Linux, and he said "Oh, you're running Linux. We don't support
Linux." and he hung up.

Anyway, I had to borrow a Windows machine in order to start service.
The router I was able to configure simply using my browser.

I have handled four routers, two D-Links, one Acer and one SMC. All four
could be accessed directly from a browser window, using the IP address
supplied in the manual. It did mean temporarily changing the IP of one box
to match their default, then changing it back when I had reconfigured the
router, but that's all. Windows was never involved.
