I know nothing about TP-Link issues, but pretty sure I have 2 of their routers 😔

Updates are non existent, basic functionality locked behind a subscription, iffy support, lousy documentation. They suck. I have one, and the only reason I haven't replaced it is monetary I have too many other things eating into my budget to replace something that is working, if not to my preferences

I have 3. Unfortunately I've learned they're awful about maintaining and updating their firmware. They're functionally pretty good, but they stop providing updates to older models quickly. I won't buy again.
