I read where the government is concerned about the Chinese undermining our cyber infrastructure with "sleeper agent" circuitry in the various doodads we buy from them.
And the TP-Link line of router/modems is particularly suspect.
My question is what non-Chinese wifi router (has both wifi and ethernet ports) is good to buy?
Right now my devices support 802.11n (5 GHz) and 802.11g( 2.4 GHz), so I want a router that supports those versions plus newer, faster versions (e.g., 802.11ax) that I might need in the future. The newer versions are only important if they don't add much to the cost. Otherwise, I'll just buy new a few years down the road if and when I have a device that can use the faster data transfer.
I'm not looking for a mesh wi-fi, although I could be talked into it if it is a great thing.
