I’ve extracted their firmwares before. Not only is the software many years behind, but it contains changes to important, security relevant parts of the system like sshd that can’t possibly be good for security.
It is not so much that TP-Link is great, it is more that American brands like Cisco keep getting caught putting deliberate security holes like hardcoded credentials into their products every other year or so and yet they seem to never consider banning those.
