I never stated anything of the sort. Don't try to put words in my mouth, pal. > it's also very easy to update a non-apple router (click one button), > and some even do it directly, no need to download a separate file. I've had Netgear routers that required you to download the firmware update on your computer, then locate that file from the router administration web page to update it. And after applying the update, the router wouldn't detect the update was complete, leaving a novice person to guess as to how to proceed. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.

Your statement that none of the updates to any of Daniel's routers were important is bullshit, considering you don't know what routers he's owned, and you don't know what updates have been released for them. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.

They would have access to the internet, and to whatever resources you make available to them on that network. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.
