I’m using an Apple iPhone with iOS 14.1 (the latest update as of writing this). It always gives me a me “Weak Security” message. Now yesterday, Windows launched H2 update for this year. After the update installed & all, I rebooted my Rigg. It’s connected to the to my Tenda via a LAN (ethernet) cable. For the first time, Windows said that my my internet connection was NOT secure. I realised that this issue lies either with my ISP, or China (tenda is a chinese company; you now the chinese virus country that has disrupted our lives forever). I understand that the WiFi does NOT have double factor encryption, but then yesterday when Windows Updated to it’s latest version (MicroSoft has said that WIndows 10 is their last OS, so they’ll release 2 updates of the OS every half an year, and patches in between). Just FYI, I don’t believe is Software piracy; Apple comes with both hardware, and OS bundled into one, is the prime reason why they’re so expensive. Normal Intel based PCs are usually shipped with hardware costs different + the OS different. Integrity is compromised, but then if your conscience is clear, you will obviosley BUY software rather than using pirated (aka CRACKED) software, so they end up costing about the same as an Apple Mac. Android phones are cheats, as the android OS is free from Google. Anyway, I’m still looking into this issue, & if I come up with something I’ll post the info.
I would like to point out that almost all routers are manufactured in China, Taiwan, or another Asian country.
Verify and audit your systems period. The “Brand Name” helps but it by no means fixes possible security concerns.
For my uses, this router performs quite well and is a bargain. I especially like the app that allows me to control it remotely and view easily who is on my network remotely. I agree the 2.4 speed is very fast, and I am very satisfied with the 5.0 speed particularly when I set the signal strength to high. I noticed you did not note this option in the article. Overall, I find this to be a bargain and quite reliable with a good user interface.
Just bought one, I confirm the feeling. The 2.4Ghz wifi is very good even with 20 devices. It is ok for normal use. I disabled 5Ghz, I do not need it. good choice for small budgets and no need for advanced features. An honest router
Would have been nice to know why you only give a 3 and recommend to buy another brand when the whole testing is great… And what about your security issues???

Modify the settings of your Wi-Fi to use encryption and a connection password.

Read the full review to find out. The “whole testing” is not great.
I read the whole review, twice. What are these security issues? Apart from the mobile app , are there any?
Never mind Sir. A search of CVE’s was a minefield 😀
