They were going to have to let someone through; the US doesn’t manufacture networking equipment…
$omething tell$ me there are a few rea$on$ it could be….
But I may be wrong.
You’re not.
I have no proof, but you’re not wrong.
Is it because of the massive,massive amount of corruption and bribery that has exploded over the last 2 years
Because that would make sense as why

Or bribery. Though with this administration, probably both.
And a government backdoor.
Paul Krugman pointed out that opaque approval processes are fertile ground for corruption.
This and their abysmal support are two very good reasons to never use netgear again
So I have a TP-Link that can’t be flashed with OpnWrt/ddwrt/pfsense. What can I do to harden my router?
Honestly I just bought a small mini PC and installed Linux on it — that’s my router. I got sick of consumer trash anyway and decided to roll my own. The mini PC is overkill, you can get by very modest hardware.
I do have an old laptop, and I could install OPNSense on it, though I’m not sure if it has a second NIC card, which seems to be a requirement for running any router software on a PC. Please correct me if I’m wrong, tho.
Yeah that’s kind of the downside. I considered using a Raspberry Pi but it felt weird to use its Ethernet port alongside some micro USB → Ethernet adapter that probably wouldn’t hit 1 Gbps anyway.
Disconnect it
