But, but, but.... some of their stuff ran OpenWRT! Or still does? Don't know exactly, other stuff runs that also, for less money, sometimes faster. less hot, and less ugly cases.
OTOH I still have a https://openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wdr3600_v1 running somewhere 24/7 since I don't even know exactly anymore. As 'managed' 5-port switch, the feeble WIFI only passively gathering information.

If it's running OpenWRT it's not coded my TP-Link. The software is usually the biggest problem.

I inhereted some tp link switches (TP-LINK T2600G-28TS ), some time ago with 5+yrs of uptime and have been working perfectly fine. No PoE though.
Updates are rare - they almost never update anything. Imo still better than d-link though
Every managed switch, every camera, it's just junk, junk, junk.
I've seen tp-link switches which have their admin interfaces die after a week. To get in you have to reboot the switch.
I've had poe switches of theirs which randomly stop providing power.
They're junk.
And they sell managed switches, with firmwares 4+ years old, and never update them.
Unsafe. Unsecured. Buggy. Crashy. Junk.
