This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Someone in the comment section posted a good question. Which specific routers that TP-Link makes are the issue?
Is it all routers that they make or is this just because they are selling inexpensive routers that have become a large part of the US market?
Does someone have an article that isn’t biased one way or the other that gives a list of effected routers ?

They are presumably talking about CovertNetwork-1658 and the reason there's no list of routers is because no one has publicly described the vulnerability that is being leveraged.
My guess is that the vulnerability is present on most of their routers. I'm basing that opinion on the fact that previous CVEs issues against TP-LINK have impacted their most popular product lines like Archer and Deco.
It's possible that this is related to CVE-2024-21833 which was open in January of 2024, update in July of 2024, then updated again in late November of 2024.
They don't care. They want to ban TP-Link as a company, routers are just an excuse.
This is the same people that keep blocking US gdpr legislation, so we know for a fact they don't care about us, they just care about not being able to spy themselves.

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.
Wait until they hear where all electronics come from. Are they gonna ban Apple?
Apple has been slowly shifting production to India for years now, and the software is made domestically.
Also Vietnam, there is a lot of Apple hardware made there now.
More importantly, the hardware is designed and inspected by Apple’s engineers. Security vulnerabilities would be Apple’s failure regardless of the origin of the parts.
I am from India actually, long way to go honestly.
So they're going to flush the TP?
I feel sorry for D-Link, they're probably going to get caught in the crossfire via people thinking they're the same company.
So you're saying that D-Link's reputation will increase as a result?
Oof, fair 😅
So many MSPs are gonna panic if tplink is banned
