Another saga of hardware scrap.

OEM router firmware is quite a horrible thing. A lot of cheap brands, TP-Link is certainly one of them, don't bother with updates for their products much. So you really just almost instantly buy hardware scrap with security holes in the installed software that no one will ever fix.

You need luck! Not every router out there has the luxus of receiving custom open source firmware. After all this custom firmware could fix the issues as it is driven by a big community and a lot of developers. However as mentioned before if you router isn't popular enough... it might not see the light of custom firmware ever.

I stopped buying products from companies like this. TP-Link, D-Link and other brands. They all do this. Don't support such behaviour! Thanks to people who buy this hardware scrap there are millions of zombies out there awaiting their masters commands.
