Works great, but there's a back door. Networking Products

I had to remove all links from this review as I forgot that URLs are not allowed - which means you'll have to google a bit to get the firmware and files. I would recommend it (it worked flawlessly for our needs and I've bought a dozen more and more are on the way). However, the firmware contains a backdoor user/password, which is a super admin account. SuperLogin = vonetsSuperPassword = vonets26642519 The result - I would NOT use the factory firmware. Luckily, OpenWRT supports the device - and with the help of their GitHub comments - here's how to fix this issue. (NOTE: Do this at your own risk - this fixes it, but it is a flashing of the device and of course not guaranteed by Vonets) Download - Google OpenWRT and you will be redirected to the OpenWRT page - you can search for Vonets in supported Hardware and find the file to download. Download the firmware and rename the long *.bin file to fw.bin (makes it easier in the future). Download tftp server, you have google "tftp server" - I used jounin. Connect the VONETS device to the USB stick and the network to connect it to the network. In a browser navigate to IP address: 192.168.253.254 and log in using the superuser login above. On the status page you will see SYSTEM UPTIME and actual UPTIME. Press SYSTEM UPTIME, then UPTIME until you get a prompt that says ATED START - this hidden trigger turns on the telnet client on the device. Connect to the device via telnet using the administrator username and password.

Pros
