The entities actually tracking your daily life are right here at home:
Meta, Google, Apple, Microsoft, and others track your location, browsing, and behavior 24/7. Harvesting your data isn't a side gig—it IS their entire business model.
Federal agencies routinely bypass the need for warrants by legally buying your location and behavioral data straight from commercial data brokers, or compelling US tech companies to hand it over.
A Chinese hardware maker wants to sell you a device. Silicon Valley wants to monetize your entire existence.

Personally, I straight up refuse to buy a router that doesn't run OpenWRT. I get that it isn't an option for your average user, but if you're not going to do it, at least buy an ASUS or something.

I went with the Asus BE92U, which is fine if you don't plan on using mesh, it causes a ton of instability. As a single router it's been fantastic.

Slightly more concerning is the router has a backdoor it could let someone into your local network so anything without a password or with a security vulnerability could be more easily accessed.
Mostly it's a dumb thing to worry about since a backdoor in anything on your network with Internet access can do the same thing. If you're really worried, stop buying cheap crap from Slickdeals and go get Mikrotik or Ubiquiti or DIY
