Why I Still Use a TP-Link Router

Wi-Fi routers are not every day prepared by the headlines, but the TP-link was more than a fair share in the last six months. Three different US departments are investigating ties with Chinese cyber and potential predatory prices. This is a very bad press but it wasn’t enough for me to buy something new Wi-Fi Router yet.

I have covered the Internet world for more than six years and used the TP-link router for the last two. I can honestly say that I have never had a problem with him – a minimum buffer, solid series and cutting (I can be guilty in the router). In the last round of the Wi-Fi Router test, the TP-link staff performs our choice for the best budget router.

Personally, for me and readers became a thorn issue for me to walk for me. Can I honestly recommend a company that looks at the US potential ban? Is my own data risk? Should I replace my router?

These questions began to walk in my head on December 28, 2024 in my head Wall Street Journal is reporting The US government is banned by TP-link routers due to the coordination of several high-profile cyberatiates from the company. In three months, a Democratic Democratic, Raja Krishnamohorthi, in Illinois, organized a TP-link router He said in Congress and “Do not use it.”

TP-link representatives rejected CNET, which links to the Chinese government. However, Chinese corporate records and government ads show that the company is About 11,000 people still work in China.

The news breaks, I He asked four cybridge experts Although they still use a TP-link redirector. One said a strong “no,” he said, “Risk for Consumer”, two refused to answer the question directly.

Spend any shopping for Wi-Fi routers and you will see that TP connection routers are often cheaper than competitors. The Department of Justice examines the federal law that violates the federal law that prohibits low-prices and companies selling products less than selling products. Last Bloomberg sheet. The 32 routers we tested for our latest opinion, the TP-link organized eighers of nine cheapest.

I not spare an investigation into our test and I felt important to evaluate the TP connection in its own iz. After all this, according to the magazine’s report, 65% of the router sales last year.

As a result, I decided to include the TP-Link Deco X55 Pro as we choose for the budget redirector. Medium performance, which is less than $ 100, was the only router, and I thought the readers have yet to offer a cheap choice of work.

After all, I use a TP-Link Router I don’t have plans to replace it and her. Privacy and security are important to me, but I do not lose any sleep on the TP connection. To know that I follow some basics Best practices for network security It gives me some peace, but is a matter of risk tolerance.

Itai Cohen was one of the authors of a report in 2023 Defined a firmware implant TP-link routers associated with the Sponsored Hacking Group by the Chinese state. He told me In the previous interview Similar implants were found in the all over the world.

“I do not think that China has enough evidence to prevent routers outside China,” he said. “Weaknesses and risks associated with routers are mainly systematic and apply to broad brands, including those produced in the United States.”

In my opinion, with this risk, in my opinion, in my opinion, there are three separate federal studies of the smoke, probably there is a fire in one place – but it is not necessarily for you. Hacks related to TP-LINK, target tanks, government organizations, non-Turkish organizations and defense administration have used missed routers for suppliers targets.

CyberSecurity experts say that after some basic steps you use the router, I have made sure that the firmware is relevant, use strong access credentials and use a VPN service.

I will continue to update our Wi-Fi router recommendations for learning new information about TP-link research. I still feel comfortable to recommend them right now.
