I dont like this because it was much better knowing the 6 was strictly a backhaul...

"Several of the cybersecurity experts I spoke with believe it's likely that intelligence agencies have found something with TP-Link that warrants a ban.
"I think this comes from a deeper intelligence within the US government. Usually this happens before the information becomes public," Guido Patanella, senior vice president of engineering at Lansweeper, told CNET.
"I think it's beyond political," Patanella added. "It could be either an intentionally set hardware flaw or it could be from a firmware point of view. This is usually a black box analysis and it usually doesn't get shared, as happened with Huawei."
FYI for those who are concerned about long-term software/firmware support. It's one reason why I went with an ASUS router instead.
The one thing that remains incredibly frustrating, however, is that you can NOT disable DHCP services on the unit.
I run a pi-hole and have that device serving DHCP so that the logs will show proper client names, and it's far more robust for reserving IP addresses.
No matter what you do, you can NOT disable DHCP on the TP-LINK. Most other routers allow you to limit the DHCP pool down to just one address - but TP-LINK does not. No known fix coming; it appears to be a forced function of the firmware which TP-LINK engineers have no desire to allow opting out by user.
For most, this is not an issue - but for those use cases like myself where DHCP is being served by another service/device, understand you will have conflicts.
