Drilling Down on Uncle Sam's Proposed TP-Link Ban

Agreed. Are TP-Link the bastion of advanced security/tech/features and futureproofing? No. But they do what they say they do on the box, and do it reliably which unfortunately is more than you can say for a lot of things these days, no matter the price/payment model.

If you just need a basic ass device for simple non-critical shit without a bunch of proprietary bullshit and dark patterns, it's hard to beat TPLink for the money.

The fact that they still get support/updates long passed the typical lifespan of competing devices several times their price point is just icing on the cake.

fuk no

their spec is overbloated SHT.

I've never seen a router crawl like 300kbps on a 1.2gbps line (simply changing that to a no-named cheap generic one got me 880mbps)

fck I don't even care about backdoors -- even if you put them, just fking at least make them up-to-spec
