Check below to enable your router to receive automatic StreamBoost updates during your initial 3-year manufacturer service term. The 3-year service term will start on the day the router is purchased but in no event will be valid beyond April 1st, 2017. (After the 3-year period, further updates may be made available from the manufacturer via firmware updates.) StreamBoost updates may help improve your router’s Internet traffic management capabilities through better traffic identification and bandwidth management techniques. In exchange, your StreamBoost enabled router will send Qualcomm Atheros, Inc. anonymous information from your router. If you decline, you can find updates through software or firmware postings from your router’s manufacturer.

Your StreamBoost enabled router will provide Qualcomm Atheros, Inc. (QCA) with anonymous data transmitted through the router. Such anonymous data may include small amounts of information when you launch a streaming service (such as video, audio, or gaming) for the purpose of identifying the data structures of service providers (such as NetFlix, Inc., Pandora Media, Inc., or other providers of cloud-based services). QCA uses this information to help us optimize StreamBoost for you and other StreamBoost users. QCA does not use this information to learn the content of what you watch, listen to, download, or play. Anonymous data also may include information about your router such as available bandwidth, oversubscription conditions (e.g., amount of bandwidth that is being requested exceeds the available bandwidth), and types of devices connected to the router, as well as information about your streaming service usage, such as duration of use and volume of data. As with any Internet communication, the IP address of your router is used to send information, but it is not retained.
