Many TP-Link products are absolutely terrible. Their Mesh products at Costco, you have to use an app on your phone to manage them and they are tied to an online account so presumably they are shipping your network info back to China. They won't even let you change your login email address once you've registered.

Reluctantly installed the management app on a device of mine, and made my family member admin with full permissions (or so I thought). Only after I left town did we realize I'd have to hand them my account to actually give them the admin rights.
