TP Link is just as bad at security as most other consumer electronics vendors:
I have a couple older TPLink Wi-Fi 5 routers with OpenWRT. One is used as a router running various services like DHCP, DNS, firewall, VPN, etc., and the other is just an access point. I’ll probably eventually get a rack-mounted router and some Wi-Fi 7/8 access points, but my current setup works well enough, especially since I mostly use Ethernet for anything requiring a fast connection.
Would it just ban the sale, or somehow ban my tp link devices? My tp link WiFi has been going strong for years
The rest of the world would be getting discounts on TP-Link gear.
So what ae the best alternatives any of you would recommend?
PC running OPNsense and a Ruckus AP.
