From what I can find, by “These routers send your credentials in plaintext”, they actually meant to say, “The mobile app sends credentials in plaintext.”

If you use the web interface then your credentials are not sent in plaintext. The routers themselves also don’t send credentials in plaintext.

The people who found this out got that wrong, and a lot of people are confused because they didn’t expand on “in plaintext.” They could be a little more professional / thoughtful.
