Not sure why you have to be condescending in regards to his "assumption" that data is being sent

You just admitted yourself that it is indeed being sent... whether it's for nefarious purposes or not - no need to be disparaging

You need a separate modem. This is a mesh router system only. If you have a cable ISP like us, then:

There are other possibilities, but if you are currently using a modem, then you would be using it with this mesh system.

Do you know for a fact < 1% of people care a lot about privacy? I would have thought it was more, but surely you've done research on it before stating that statistic?

Forgive the ignorance but would this also serve as a modem? So just connect to the isp cable and good to go?

[Cable wall outlet] → [Modem] → [This or any other non-modem router]

There are other possibilities, but if you are currently using a modem, then you would be using it with this mesh system.

Depends on your ISP. For VZ Fios you can connect from the ONT box using Ethernet to TP-Link. Turn the TP-Link into router mode instead of AP.

This comes with HomeShield, which is a paid subscription for antivirus, parental controls, and reports. I purchased the x60 at Costco in March and got hardware version 2.6, which came with HomeCare, a similar but free-for-life subscription.

Always separate modem and routers. Get a decent modem like S33 and a mesh system like this TP-Link.

But I read somewhere, TP-Link routers sending encrypted data somewhere (I'm guessing China, because this is a Chinese owned company).

Good deal on whats been a pretty well reviewed Triband Entry Level mesh, if you have speeds between 500Mbps and 1Gbps then this will provide you about 700ish Mbps over wireless out of that 1Gbps. On average at the secondary nodes people been getting around 500-600Mbps, so its good performance overall.

This will not maximize a 1Gbps ISP connection to its full extent though, that's where you want the more costly AX5700 2 pack.

If you dont know for a fact, then dont speak about it, not a hard concept. If you want to speak about something go get educated on the topic instead of spreading assumptions.

The data is being sent to their security company which monitors the home network traffic for malware even if you dont have a subscription... Same thing netgear and anyone else who has a third party offering protection, except theirs sends it even if your not paying for it and not getting the protection. Its like that across their whole new product lineup, which leads one to assume, that when they were making their base firmware they coded that as a one size fits all solution in their firmware for all their hardware.

Who would care about this, just about noone but the most privacy oriented people out there so the 1% and less.

Man, these things keep getting cheaper and more attractive, but I've been holding out for 6E and I feel like the second I pull the trigger they'll all of a sudden start hitting the market and at reasonable costs.

Going to be tough not to swing for this..
