Impacted Parties and How They Are Impacted
Consumers – Millions may lose access to affordable routers, facing higher costs for replacements.
Small Businesses – Those relying on budget-friendly TP-Link products might struggle to find cost-effective alternatives.
Internet Service Providers (ISPs) – Over 300 ISPs using TP-Link routers may need to switch vendors, incurring logistical costs.
Tech Industry Competitors – Companies like Netgear and Linksys could see increased demand, boosting their market share.
TP-Link Employees – A US ban could lead to significant layoffs and financial losses for the company.
Government and National Security – Enhanced security measures could address potential backdoor risks, but at the cost of straining US-China relations.
Cybersecurity Researchers – Greater focus on supply chain transparency and device security could drive new research opportunities.

While Linksys and Netgear released cloud routers which can only be managed online and require subscriptions. I would not be surprised if someday we learn that tp-link was banned for not allowing a government back door.

If people cared about security, they wouldn't use default Admin Name & Password & Their first name as SSID 😂

I made my own firewall/router with pfSense on a mini PC and have a separate Ubiquiti access point. My WiFi password is a random 63 character string.

How is a firmware update going to help, when it is developed by the company that is under suspicion?

I'll stick with tp link there cheap reliable and have great coverage. I've had other brands and the tp link is like an old Chevy like a rock ! Even if they ban them it's not the ones out there won't work they be more valuable 😂

I like my Deco mesh router. I dont ever use default passords. And router is set up so it can only be change with driect cat 5 to it. I have a long house and used 4 satellite hubs. Works great and dont coast an arm and a leg. Also I get an email anytime a new device gets added. Can monitor it any time from my pc or phone.

It is not just all of those features but TP-Link routers are very reliable. My TP-Link AX3000 Pro has been extremely reliable. I never ever have to reboot it! That is how a router should be, you never have to reboot or reset it. So when I can no longer get them it would be nice to know what other ones are really good. It would annoy me if I had to keep resetting or rebooting. I would buy an enterprise grade one if I had to if that is what it takes to keep a reliable connection. I really don't need all of those additional "features". I just want one that works. My TP-Link has also given me the full speed of the connection from the ISP I would add although that connection is 500 Mb. I have no doubt at all that if I had gigabit I would see all of it too. I have ran the speed tests too. Actually I see slightly more speed than advertised in those tests and that is a consistent thing too! I know people buy them because they are not expensive but I would buy a router 4 times as expensive to keep the same reliability.

I have several TP Link routers but NONE is connected directly to the internet some are just AP some just wifi repeaters ... I would never trust ANY commercial router with OEM firmware connected to the internet ... I have the knowledge to do this but the vast majority of the home users don't banning a given brand is first to late and too little. this is like playing quack a mole ... The number already sold is a huge number and they will be connected for 5-or even 10 years in some places ... unless the government goeas hack them and break them this is pointless. Why not to force ISPs to enhance their network ? Force them to monitor and ban bad actors.

[JoseSamuel-ow]

If being hacked by the government is the concern then all American brands must be taken off the shelves 😂. If users don't change default passwords it's their fault.

Netgear and Linksys are crap tho and have more vulnerabilities.

[sivlap]

Are other countries implementing the ban?hoo wah way BTW.
