The US Is Considering a TP-Link Router Ban—Should You Worry?
Several government departments are investigating TP-Link routers over Chinese cyberattack fears, but the company denies links.
You're viewing a single thread.
Every single consumer SOHO router is just a data mining security clusterfuck these days, brand is irrelevant. The only way to really get away from it is to run your own SBC or NUC with a wifi card and shit.
They make mini PCs with five Ethernet ports that are perfect for this sort of thing.
OpenWRT?
Key word: consumer. You won’t find a single router on store shelves that the layman is not getting all of their data collected through.
GL.Inet sells routers that run openwrt out of the box. I'm not claiming they're guaranteed to not be modified to collect data, but just giving an example that there are consumer grade products out there that are better options, you just need to look for them.
Mikrotik is probably OK IMO.
probably, lol. they don't even support openwrt
And?
what do you base that probably upon?
It's a European company, they are widely deployed and well regarded.
Their hardware is decent and well priced.
I don't think if anyone else can provide this type of hardware at that price point.
