Seems to have taken down my router "smart wifi" login page, and there's no backup router-only login option! Brilliant work, linksys....

WiFi login portal (Icomera) on the train I'm on doesn't work either.

Happened to lots of commercial routers too (free wifi with sign-in pages in stores for example) and that's way outside us-east-1

Was just on a Lufthansa and then United flight - both of which did not have WiFi. Was wondering if there was something going on at the infrastructure level.

What if they use the same router inside AWS and now they cannot login too?
