Ask Alexa. If she hesitates even a nanosecond, she is the culprit. Rip her power cord out.

TP-links are known to have many back doors, weird behavior and actually phone home to China.

Look at the site

https://routersecurity.org

To be safe, get a low-end business level/quality router.

Are you sending top secrets to China?
Ask your handler what new TP-Link router to get.

Yup, just throw the router out and get something newer.

Your router is seriously outdated. Time to buy a new one.

9 years with the same router? Unplug your router and go Buy A NEW ROUTER. THAT THING IS 150 IN ROUTER YEARS.

Ran into buddy at work who was carrying a Cisco router card. Asked what up and he said they caught it trying to phone home, somewhere in China.

Didn’t work - completely isolated network.

They’re all made in China.

Are you paranoid enough?

Ditto that. I had a similar problem with a DSL router. Service provider tech came out and I asked if there was a quick fix. He just replaced it and the router wasn’t 10 years old.

Routers are cheap and easy to replace. Life is short.
