Still insecure… – Smart Home Manager Review

I have been in pursuit of one goal for the last 12 months. Securing a new 1GB router from AT&T. It took 10 months just to get an up to date router here in TX… Evidently AT&T allows multiple hacked versions of this app. I have seen several versions myself… Even though I accepted the terms of the app and only have one copy on my network… My device names, group settings, passwords, & groups are still available to anyone. Unauthorized modifications including opening the game ports just magically appear. The password is conveniently displayed and can even be “shared” with anyone with a copy of the app. I have to question the wisdom if this if security is desired. Attempts to get local help always results in a transfer to Direct TV even though I use U-Verse. Perhaps it is bugs, bad designs, or simply local “support”. Perhaps my only alternative is to find a new ISP. Speed without security is a very poor trade off indeed!
