US targets TP-Link with a potential ban on the Chinese routers
US targets TP-Link with a potential ban on the Chinese routers
The incoming Trump administration could take action next year.
TP-link is reportedly being investigated over national security concerns linked to vulnerabilities in its very popular routers.
You're viewing a single thread.
Someone in the comment section posted a good question. Which specific routers that TP-Link makes are the issue?
Is it all routers that they make or is this just because they are selling inexpensive routers that have become a large part of the US market?
Does someone have an article that isn’t biased one way or the other that gives a list of effected routers ?

We're literally inside an imperial core.
that gives a list of effected routers ?
If there was a list of effected routers, TP-Link would most likely have patched them.
Most likely old routers still sold on Amazon instead of the latest WiFi 7 models on the website~
Why would you assume that? They probably all use the same base.
TP-Link is popular because of their cheap options while easy-to-setup for average joe families.
Right, but I'm not seeing a reason that only the older routers would have these vulnerabilities. I'm guessing the base OS for all of them is quite similar.
Well, they also don’t offer more than 2 updates on their proprietary software… so you can just categorise them as vintage or out of service like Apple especially for even older hardware that’s $20 or less like Tenda which is also another Chinese brand.
