How secure is that third party Cloudcheck router software agent?
Is it really only active after using the App locally from the LAN side?

"ASSIA is highlighting its Cloudcheck technology and the need to have router manufacturers enable the Cloudcheck services via the Indiegogo campaign. Using simple diagnostics, executed via the Cloudcheck application, consumers can determine whether they can make any improvements, empowering consumers to optimize their home Wi-Fi. When a consumer finds potential performance improvements, he or she will simply opt into a monthly service, available later this year, called Smartifi that automatically monitors, and continuously improves, Wi-Fi performance across the home network. This consumer SAAS solution can be easily integrated into any router manufacturer’s software, allowing the agent to connect to the Cloudcheck cloud server, which then adds intelligence to the router and enables monitoring and optimization to happen automatically."

In other words the routers gets connected to a third party server on the Internet and the remote application Smartifi is peeking into your home router to automatically make improvements.
What improvements? Channel changes or setting in the Wireless-Professional section or QoS settings?

Wouterv,

The press release and the Indiegogo campaign was targeting a future product that would provide optimization functions along side the Diagnostics functions. The current release with ASUS only features the Diagnostics and Recommendations functions and not the Optimization. Without the optimization, we don't change any router settings.

The service is really only active after getting explicit consent from the end-user through the app. This activation is done through the LAN side.
 
Can't set channel 13 on 2.4 GHz connection.
