TP-Link router vulnerabilities found in Latvia

No, that's Netgear. TP-LINK is basically the target of the ban. The whole purpose is so that everyone but them gets an exemption to import new models. They have been having issues for years now with certain models with vulnerable factory firmware still out in the wild, especially in eastern Europe.

I'm thinking of buying my own router for my apartment, do I need to buy security along with it?

Nah dude, you don’t need to waste money on one of those “network security plans.” Most consumer routers are fine right out of the box as long as you tweak a few settings. If you grab something decent in the $100–$150 range (TP-Link Archer AX21, ASUS RT-AX57, Netgear, etc.), just do this after settin

what router should I get

Since you're willing to run Ethernet upstairs, you don't need a Dream Router 7. For a 300 Mbps fiber connection, a basic Wi-Fi 6 router like a TP-Link AX21, AX55, or ASUS AX57 will easily provide 200–300+ Mbps and a stable connection in your room. If the ISP modem/router downstairs is already handli

Question about buying a router for Virtual Desktop

dedicated router for Quest 3 does not need to be connected to your modem or the internet. You can connect a router directly to your PC via Ethernet (PC-to-router) to create a private, lag-free local network for VR. The PC will still use your AT&T WiFi for internet access, while the Quest uses the ne

Essa plaquinha é boa?

Manda vender a porra de uma placa de 4-5 anos atrás por quase R$300 é maluquisse total. O driver dessas p

US conducting criminal antitrust investigation into TP-Link, Bloomberg News reports

Their products were involved in some pretty big botnet campaigns that targeted large companies like Microsoft. There's still a network of rogue AX21 routers, mostly in Europe that are actively attacking systems. They really ruffled the wrong feathers. FWIW, I think Tenda and Wavlink should be banned

WiFi 5 GhZ Doesn't Penetrate Thick Walls Well.

Hi OP big fan of your username. I am midway through season 2 right now. Right now the TP link ax1800 and another model are on Clearance at Home Depot for $25 and $22. You could add more and mesh them.

WiFi 5 GhZ Doesn't Penetrate Thick Walls Well.

Haha, I made the account when I was a huge fan of the show while it aired. Gotta rewatch again soon! Are AX1800s that good?, I feel disappointed in TP-link budget routers after this experience.

decrease bitrate

I used to get these random stutters and notifications to lower the bitrate often. I researched so many new router options, ranging from $100 to over $500. Then I decided to switch out my stupid ugreen usb wifi dongle for a $30 tp link ax1800 with two antennas, i never get these stutters anymore. My
