Das heisst, wenn das Gerät danach nicht mehr funktioniert, kann man sich nicht mehr an den Hersteller weden. smartbedded UG, der Hersteller der Meteobridge-Software, übernimmt ebenfalls keine Herstellergewährleistung. Da die Router sehr günstig sind, ist das finanzielle Risiko, ein Gerät durch das Aufspielen der neuen Firmware unbrauchbar zu machen, eher gering. Trotzdem sollte man sich bewusst sein, dass man dieses Risiko alleine trägt.
