  WRT + TP-link = more secure than most corporate networks

    This is what I use in my house. I don’t understand what the deal is with this besides the fact that some people are ignorant and don’t change any of the factory router settings. You don’t even need to use WRT. Just change the factory passwords and config.

      You’re probably underestimating the amount of people that don’t bother going into the Settings menu of the devices they own. It’s “most” rather than “some”. The percentage of the population that knows technology beyond the surface level of using it is tiny.

  Do they have any actual evidence?

  TP-link is far from perfect but many US manufactures have the same issues

    Evidence? From the “most transparent administration”? You must be new here…
