Some of these router brands are so lazy to patch security flaws. Last update was almost a year and half ago. It's not like the flaws don't exist. They simply aren't patching.

Looks like that is the latest firmware version:

Agreed, had nothing but issues with my Velop system. Constant drops and no support from Linksys. I'd avoid and go with something like TP-Link.
Edit: Forgot to mention that I switched to the TP-Link mesh system from Costco after getting rid of my Velop and have had zero issues. Much faster speeds, as well.

Do I have to create online account, do I need to provide my phone number? Is there any subscription fee? Do I need subscription to use things like parent control, or restrict from what ip address my router administration can be performed?
Ideally I'm looking for a mesh system that does not require any of the above nonsense. Everyone wants your account, email, phone and subscription.
I wonder if I should just buy 2 of ASUS RT-AX86U Pro and connect them via mesh-ai with wired backhaul.
So far seems good. I tested one of them wirelessly at a few random points in the house to check signal strength. Then ethernet connected one on top floor and the other in basement. Seem to be getting great coverage and speed with no drops noticed within first 24 hours.
Both also automatically prompted to update to latest firmware right after setup (2.0.6.211172).

Can you please confirm these have USB port to connect hard drive?
