Is my network actually at any risk? Should I take any steps now that I’m not receiving security updates? This was a really expensive router and I’m going back to school so I’m definitely not going to be in the market for a new one for quite a while. Probably wouldn’t be going back to tplink even if I did.
Thoughts?
Look up alternative firmware like OpenWRT, Gargoyle Router, dd-wrt, etc. and see which fits your needs. No need to throw away working tech.
Depending on the exact sub-version of the device it’s OpenWRT capable.
If it isn’t it should be discarded, though.
