    Does someone have an article that isn’t biased one way or the other

    We’re literally inside an imperial core.

    that gives a list of effected routers ?

    If there was a list of effected routers, TP-Link would most likely have patched them.

      Most likely old routers still sold on Amazon instead of the latest WiFi 7 models on the website~

          TP-Link is popular because of their cheap options while easy-to-setup for average joe families.

            Right, but I’m not seeing a reason that only the older routers would have these vulnerabilities. I’m guessing the base OS for all of them is quite similar.

              Well, they also don’t offer more than 2 updates on their proprietary software… so you can just categorise them as vintage or out of service like Apple especially for even older hardware that’s $20 or less like Tenda which is also another Chinese brand.
