TP-link always has poorly coded junk. Always. Everything I've seen from them.
Every managed switch, every camera, it's just junk, junk, junk.
I've seen tp-link switches which have their admin interfaces die after a week. To get in you have to reboot the switch.
I've had poe switches of theirs which randomly stop providing power.
They're junk.
And they sell managed switches, with firmwares 4+ years old, and never update them.
Unsafe. Unsecured. Buggy. Crashy. Junk.
- LargoLasskhyfv 3y agoBut, but, but.... some of their stuff ran OpenWRT! Or still does? Don't know exactly, other stuff runs that also, for less money, sometimes faster. less hot, and less ugly cases. OTOH I still have a https://openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wdr3600_v1 https://openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wdr3600_v1 running somewhere 24/7 since I don't even know exactly anymore. As 'managed' 5-port switch, the feeble WIFI only passively gathering information.
- Moru 3y agoIf it's running OpenWRT it's not coded my TP-Link. The software is usually the biggest problem.
- lousken 3y agoI inhereted some tp link switches (TP-LINK T2600G-28TS ), some time ago with 5+yrs of uptime and have been working perfectly fine. No PoE though. Updates are rare - they almost never update anything. Imo still better than d-link though
