TheFinn,

Here are some screenshots from my router administration pages. Notice the “Powered by Asuswrt-Merlin”.

In the first image you can see that I have a particular feature disabled.

When I toggle it on I receive a warning that my information will be collected by Trend Micro.

I included another screenshot showing the location where I would withdraw my consent to having my data collected, were I to actually use the advanced features of the router, that I thought I was paying for at the point of sale. Instead I was apparently paying for the privilege of having the option dangled in front of me, behind an agreement for yet another, separate company to collect my family’s data.
