Re: Problems and Security of TM-AC1900 ROUTER (rebranded ASUS)
First of, all it's not a complete rebrand. The back of the router is a Asus ac86U. not a ac68U. The tmo version also has a different power supply than the ac68U; it also is the ac86U one. The original firmware is stacked with features. The VPN options are excellent. It will repeat another Asus router in Media mode, basically, it does mesh. albeit in another way. It does not have Trend Microprotection and so it does not report anywhere. Honestly, the tmo version has less security issues than other routers. I have an original one and it still works, and has the best track record interms of security of any router I currently possess. That is, it beats 4 other currently updated routers in a track record. Asus will actually reset the router if youtry to upgrade a modded router. That is, If you try to update the router to be more secure after the 'rebrand', it will reset back to the tmo version. Also There is no telnet or SSH access anymore, and you need to be in physicalpossession of the device, time, and tools to get it to turn into the AC68U. Use a unique admin account name, a good SSIDand 20 plus character passwords if you are that concerned.This router is a tank.7Visto0likes0Comentarios
