I totally agree.

You can log into the router using the old way by disconnecting the internet.

But most of the options are not available as far as I can tell.

I can't find any of these things:

MAC Address Filtering

USB drive setup

QOS settings

Port forwarding

And it's impossible to uncheck the automatic firmware upgrade box.

I will gladly downgrade the firmware if it's possible.

Hi there. Mac Address Filtering can be found under Wireless. As for the USB connection, you can find USB Storage on the side panel as well. For the QoS settings, it is termed now as Media Prioritization. Port Forwarding can be found under Security and it says there Apps and Gaming. As for the firmware auto update, you can actually uncheck that option under Connectivity.

Are you logged in through the cloud?

If you read my post (which was full of typos so maybe unclear) I logged in when the internet happened to be down, so I logged in wihout the cloud. 

None of these options were available when I logged in that way. I am not planning to create an online account just to set up my router which is sitting in the next room.  That's ridiculous man.

Hello,

After 20 minutes I received EA4500. I little bit worried now about what im read here.

I have question about this functions:

MAC Address Filtering

USB drive setup

QOS settings

Port forwarding

Do I have all this options in Cisco Connect Cloud?

[Earmack]

Look like cisco connect clouds, it's something like JOKE!!!

Where all of the default features from previous firm?
mac addrec filtering
NAT
UpnP

I am very disappointed & angry

I contacted cisco about this, advised them that this software is terrible and it needs to come off. I was told that someone would call me back between 24-48 hours to downgrade the firmware.

If anyone finds the firmware we had prioer to this (for the EA4500) please post it here.

Have they called you back yet?

[Earmack]

fixed/solved. Live-chat support help me, all features now work & visible

[Wendel48]

Would you kindly elaborate? "...all features now work and visible." How did you achieve this? Are you going through the cloud or direct connect to the router (the old fashioned way)? Please share your wisdom. Thank you.

Not yet!

I'm the owner of an ea 3500 routers which made the useless update last night ...agree the button was checked for automatically update but why in the name of Thor I can't change it back to the previous version...why do we need to go through the Cisco server before to reach our routers...

Soooo.....where is the "RESTORE TO PREVIOUS VERSION " button? or the file for a manual change...

@Wendel48

In cloud.

I preferred old fhashion way, but looks like now we don't have a choise=(

Cloud it's cool, but seriosly it's must be not FORCE, it's must be OPTIONAL (who need this & whanna testing).
