TP-Link routers could be banned in the U.S. over national security concerns, according to a report.

Summary

In October, Microsoft published an analysis which found that a Chinese hacking entity had access to a trove of compromised TP-Link routers.

The Justice Department is also investigating whether TP-Link’s low pricing violates U.S. antitrust laws.

TP-Link denies selling below cost and claims its security practices meet U.S. standards.

The potential ban highlights growing scrutiny of Chinese tech products used widely in homes, businesses, and even U.S. federal agencies.

    Yeah I’m kind of regretting my Reyee router right now. Guess we should look up rooting them and seeing what we can find.

      Could always search and see if there are any builds for it many open source router firmware out there. OpenWrt, DD-WRT is where I would start looking.
