Thoughts in South Africa

The latest firmware 4.0 released on 2009-08-10 supports a usb GPS devide that will allow you to track your router where ever it go.

How ever there is a few flaws with this.

1. Why would you keep a usb gps in a device if you took it with out permission
2. The router can be reset and you would not be able to track it any more and the gps can be plugged back in.
3. If your router is taken to a different country it might just be cheaper to buy an new one instead of buying expensive tickets and sitting x housr in a plane to go and take it back

But there are advantages, if the router is inside your car or a locked box,container… with a gps you can track your car…
