Obviously there are devices that are functionally capable of doing the same things, but frequently this requires either to used dedicated tools or CLI… that I do not like. and every single time my research was leading me back to Draytek. I also have 3 Draytek APs (VigorAP 903 and VigorAP 802) and these also works flawlessly.Įvery time I made router replacement I made some research on the market trying to identify best for me device (well, I’m a bit picky, having some more advanced features configured on my LAN).
Unifi controller 6.1 71 update#
Every single update was caused by upgrade to data link speed, that previous router could not handle. Personally I use Draytek routers for over 20 years - Just few weeks ago upgraded to Vigor 2927L, it is my 4th Draytek router. That’s how I stumbled on the thread above. Yet it is also transmitting this hidden backhaul SSID when in client mode. I have a small tplink nano travel router, it’s a little portable thingy without any mesh network capability. It doesn’t have any security vulnerabilities.” Tplink’s official answer: “The hidden SSID is for OneMesh and it’s very safe.

More than one year later, tplink finally releases a beta firmware that supposedly let’s people turn the hidden network off - and it doesn’t actually turn it off. People are requesting a switch to turn it off if not needed.

It can’t be turned off, is also transmitted on routers that don’t have mesh support, gives full access to everything connected to the router and uses an obscure, proprietary protocol with a PSK generated by an algorithm only known to tplink, that has already been compromised in a PoC. Tldr: A lot of tplink routers transmit a secondary hidden SSID used for mesh backhaul. Here’s an interesting thread on the TPLink forums. I can’t find any backdoor-issues nor poor responses to reported security issues I could not get that level relaibility without large cost with other product. I forget to mention that prior to ubiquiti i use netgear and linksys product and wifi dropout and need to reboot was the norm. as i say, I always expect shoe to drop eventually but figured issue would be business matter not security matter so i feel it OK you using? For a while I guess, company was stable enough for the price/function

I never love the company but competitors were (3) times cost with issues or being bought and sold constantly. Ubuiqiti was not great but it was cheap, fairly reliable, flexible and decently secure Minimum security issues over years in world where cisco, linksys and others had undisclosed hardcoded passwords. This is both extremly cheap and relaible enough that I rely on it as only means for facilty access and in other case main WAN connection for medical imaging facility.ĪP are cheap and reliable for home/small office/even large facilty.

Took 20 minutes at initial install to config and setup. Working 2 years so far and been through 2 hurricanes and below zero weather and extreme heat. Total cost (2) ubiquiti nano ap about $100. I use in past and currently for PtP wireless bridge local network to remote building.
