I need a router, and looking at TP-Link. My router is 9 years old, and probably needs a new replacement. Anyone experience problems with TP-Link routers?

I like my TP Link router. The policy should be:

“If you like your router you can keep your router.”

Never fooled with TP Link myself.

Netgear has been what I’ve used for many years in different forms.

The Orbi I’ve been using for a couple years now has been almost no touch except for checking firmware is up to date after initial setup and routine items as changing the defaults.

I saw this article but I have an ASUS router (made in Taiwan) so I did a search and found a different vulnerability for ASUS. I use the ASUS Merlin firmware on my router so I can connect it to a VPN so I am not sure if mine is affected.

I have used networking hardware for decades and for sure I have never bought a TP Link device. I have seen them in thrift stores but I still wouldn’t buy one. DLink is the lowest quality I will use because Cisco owns it but all of my last 3 wifi routers have been Netgear Nighthawk. Also my hotspot. Everything else is cheap crap made in the Chinese Laogai with slave labor.

They are a good price for what you get. The news about backdoors to the Chicoms has been around for about a decade. I have an Asus router myself. Not cheap, but no issues and a good management portal. Netgear will do the trick, too. I have never had anything but misery with Linksys.

The problem is the Chinese angle.

Nope.

[plain talk]

No problems here.

It is not just the routers. Most smart bulbs and plugs are made by the same Chinese company.
