Already disproved of all the blah blah blah china china spyware ban ban talking points of it being very unlikely to happen in other threads so I wont be reposting it all, but in before the parrots come in trying to post it.
My only concern... I have the Deco M9/M5's and I can currently to QoS, filter, assign IP reservations, restrict via multiple methods, etc. when I tried a newer TP-Link model two-ish years newer, I found that they required a subscription to do things I am doing for free. Returned those newer ones and kept on rocking. I assume that the HomeShield sub is required to do things like QoS, etc?
Will this work with the AT&T Fiber router/modems? I heard AT&T makes it difficult to add repeaters or additional routers to their proprietary modem. I have never tried, but would like to set up a mesh network.

Could have sworn I saw a passthrough option on my ATT Fiber gateway unit...

You should be able to turn off routing on the ATT modem, no?

I turned off the radio in my ATT Fiber and wired connected and made this the transmitter for all the other ones. Don't use the gateway in the ATT unit.
Uggghhh not even Wifi6E. Come on people these should be $10 especially when tplink never bothers to update their firmware after a few months and are chocked full of vulnerabilities. Tplink routers at best are e-waste because they barely update their routers and want you to keep buying new models.
Also lots of features like QoS, ip assignment, blacklist, whitelist, etc previously free in older models now require subscription in the newer models. This is a move backwards for a money grab.

You would be horribly inaccurate as even the M9+s and X60s were getting updates even 4 years later now....
Just to emphasize how wrong you are I found an old post I replied to someone else just a few backs in another thread.
"Already disproved the ridiculousness of people who say that TP-link does not update after a few months, but I will do it again for those that are not up to date.
"You dont say.... Just a few of the popular ones I can recall... BTW the same AX21 that the article references says it only happens on peoples routers who have not updated their firmware and they even point to the firmware page where to get the latest update to protect against it.... so yeah..... The update for that botnet attack was published last year so only people who don't update their firmware regularly would have been effected.. Good to get all the facts now isnt is...
Deco M9+ almost 7 years of support with the last firmware update in 2024 8/20.
Deco X60 over 4 years of support last update 2024.
Deco X90 same over 4 years of support last update 2024.
Archer AX72 Pro over 2 years of support last update 2024.
Archer AX21 over 5 years of support with the last firmware in January of 2025.
While all their routers dont get consistent firmware they usually do support their most popular for a long time. TP-Link also has improved on that front in the last few years.
Most companies like netgear and linksys do the same thing, usually only worry about the most popular models this is nothing new. Asus being one of the few that almost always updates all their product lines for longer than average."
As for this model AXE75 launched in 2023, ooh look a firmware update on 3/10/2025 there goes your few months comments. That goes for both V1 and V1.6 too."
