    Dumb policy but still fuck tp link routers. They never took security remotely seriously to the point where their products are known for being a good entry point into learning about exploiting embedded devices.

    Don’t really care or think the government spyware concerns are particularly legitimate but they definitely aren’t secure products to have on your network

      You sure you’re not confusing TP-Link with D-Link? The latter has been the common attack surface I’m familiar with, and the former has been a staple for enthusiasts and as a tool for pentesters.

      There’s quite a few TP-Link Models that can be flashed with open source firmware. The ones I helped friends and family with seemed to get software updates consistently after being discontinued.

      This isn’t an all out endorsement, but I’ve certainly seen worse.
