I’ve been watching the news for the TP Link ban. I’m torn on this situation for sure. Other manufacturers that we use (Ubiquiti, SonicWall, FortiNet, Palo Alto, Cisco, Juniper) have had large scale security issues with their software. TP Link has taken steps to address security flaws in their routers. Is the ban about home routers or will the ban include ALL TP Link hardware? Every article I find seems to concentrate on the home gear. Below are links to the articles that we reviewed here. What do you think about this potential ban? Are you still deploying TP Link business gear? Will you ditch the home routers? I have several TP Link products I’ve purchased myself — and I’ve been waiting to release videos based on whether or not a ban goes through. I really want to hear your thoughts and the direction you’re going on this.
