My router (TP Link) said it had a firmware update. I’m a responsible adult, so I update my firmware. When I log back in, I get this popup that they’d like to share my clients info.

cool…

Yup, bought a bunch of TP-Link mesh towers. Turns out that they take down the whole WiFi when the main node looses internet connection. That’s just not acceptable, I might have an unstable internet connection but still want access to my local devices, such as my streaming server or router.

On that node, does anyone know of a brand of mesh towers that can survive unstable/no internet connections and don’t use custom firmware? DD-WRT works just fine, but I’m not gonna flash custom firmware onto friends’ devices.

Wouldn’t you be helping them?
