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?
It means that any updates you do receive from now on, will be purposfully crippling the hardware you have until you decide to get a new one.
Just use a custom firmware. I’m pretty sure the Nighthawks line still can have OpenWRT installed to them.
