TP-link is reportedly being investigated over national security concerns linked to vulnerabilities in its very popular routers.

Almost like it has less to do with security and more to do with securitization of economic competition.
The US government is just upset because it’s harder to place back doors in non-US hardware. It’s a US national security concern to NOT have US back doors in devices.
Running OpenWRT is generally a good idea. I’m not gonna lie and say it’s easy to setup. But it’s worth it.
Someone in the comment section posted a good question. Which specific routers that TP-Link makes are the issue?
Is it all routers that they make or is this just because they are selling inexpensive routers that have become a large part of the US market?
Does someone have an article that isn’t biased one way or the other that gives a list of effected routers ?
maybe the us should try actually investing in their own infrastructure instead of just relying on rabid xenophobia and sinophobia
Makes sense.
Insert meme: Throws out of the window~
So they’re going to flush the TP?
