   This often overlooked but update your Router Firmware regularly. This will keep your network and your home devices more secure.

   Also toss those TP-link devices. They are not secure and have massive security holes.

     @lauren Probably, but the fact remains is that TP Link sucks at patches. That’s an issue all by itself.

     But I agree, this anti-China angle is a bit sus.

     @seth More anti-Chinese hysteria without a shred of actual evidence. Just a lot of could-be and what-if while pretty much every device no matter where it's made likely has similar flaws or even worse. It's 99% political hype.

     We recently published about botnets on (Taiwanese) ASUS routers.

     So not an imaginary problem, but I fully agree we should not politicise this.
