Randomized interface ports change nothing except for stopping automated scanners. They don't really help. Just lock it behind ssh, physical access or similar, and then never worry about it again.
No, all of the local web interfaces have had problems too. Literally every router or network appliance has had similar issues.
ISP, consumer, and enterprise routers have all the same issues due to the same architecture. All of them.
Me too. But it's just not about my router being secure today, it's about it being secure tomorrow. I want to be able to rest easy knowing that if a new vulnerability appears in xyz component then I don't have to worry about it.
Without knowing my infrastructure your making some really impreasive assumptions buddy. If this is your day job i recommend a career change
Im very much aware of the cves out on tplink and the one you showed i patched months ago and hardened to recommendation to the rest. Nothings perfect but when you look at security flaws beyween cisco ubiquity and tplink ill go for tp link even tho they are missing some useful features. Im not corperate fan girl but how dead set some ubiquity users are it makes me a bit weary. If i was doing it all again and not buying on a budget id setup my own pfsense.
