I have TP-Link Deco's for our WiFi, sitting behind a Firewalla Gold. This has been by far the nicest, simplest at home setup I've ever deployed. Do I love that I chose TP-Link? No. But price to purpose it was the best product available to me at the time.

If TP-Link gets banned, my concern is what that means for the massive market share in the US. Warranty? Software updates? Or maybe that action is what turns them into an agent of the state. Or do you horde all the hardware until its valuable like DJI parts are today?

My guess is they’ll be forced to sell their US division to whatever company gives the government the most money (sort of like the Oracle-Tiktok deal).

I thought it was the Chinese owner of Tiktok that got paid money.

What is your evidence that the US government was paid any money as part of that deal (over and above any taxes that would have been incurred by any sale of any business).

> whatever company gives the government the most money

If only! Unfortunately it's whatever makes the Party leadership the most money.
