Tp-link probably get banned like TikTok
Happening now in USA.
?
just make sure its not an EU model, the wifi strength is horrible on those.
Just curious did you end up finding a non EU tp link?
Maybe they deliberately do it on the lower end model and give US model on the flagship so it's obviously better for their higher end model.
I'm using 3 of these routers in the house and have no issues with. (Previously used ASUS routers)
Mesh? Work well?
I don't use mesh. All connected with lan cable in Single level house. (lan cables through the wall)
This router only supports wireless mesh so I dont have any interest anyway.
for ASUS router, I always have issues with my iPhone as it loose 5ghz signal all the time.
Tplink is always pog
Just be aware that TP-Link are known to have more exploit/vulnerabilities than any other brand and they take years to fix them. Hence why the talk about banning them in the US. They are the cheapest with good features which is why they have 60% of the US market. Do your research, or not.
Hmm, not sure they have more than any other brands pal… Palo, Cisco, Fortinet all have critical vulnerabilities published weekly. The Internet will always be the internet, it's important for people to educate themselves.
Yes all brands have exploits but TP-Link take longer than any other to fix them. I'd rather a product that is vulnerable for 3 months over 3 years.
While true tp-link have a much higher number of vulnerabilities
Parental control doesn’t work. I purchased for their full featured parental control but it is not rock solid.
Just be happy that your kids are smart
Be warned with TP-Link routers. There is a reason they are getting banned in the USA. They have one of the highest rates of vulnerabilities likely purposely put their by the CCP.
Reasonably router, but old. I was a beta tester for this model - in August 2019. Not sure of the actual release date, but it's close to 5 years old.
You may be able to tell if it’s EU by looking at the signal dB. EU stuff is normally under 25db.
One good thing about TP-link is that they actually provide the data for it

CE: Note this would be for the EU model.
<20dBm(2.4GHz)
<23dBm(5.15GHz~5.35GHz)
<30dBm(5.47GHz~5.725GHz)
FCC: Note this would be for the US model
<30dBm(2.4GHz & 5.15GHz~5.825GHz)
