It wants to configure your Router. Vista does a pretty good network map. My
router is old and does not support it. I hope in summer to get a Linksys SRX
or will wait for a Pre-N 2.0 or Final N.
I wanna do away with one wifi router so need the other one stronger and
replace it with a 1000mbps router and the other wifi router which is sex or
something 1000 mbs too.
Thank you,

Downloaded it, and installed it.
First red flag for me is, as soon as you launch the installer, it wants
to "phone home". Why?
Second, after I installed it, it asks for your router username and
password.
Third, it continuously wants to "phone home"!
Fourth, I un-installed it!
