New Router - aka 9 circles of hell

A work in Pogress. For my personal enjoyment only.

The new router:

Isn't that special!


..........TP-Link is under investigation by U.S. authorities, including the DOJ,
due to national security concerns linked to its Chinese ownership and widespread use
in U.S. networks, with potential for a sales ban under consideration by the FCC;
investigations stem from exploited vulnerabilities in routers, linking them to Chinese
state-sponsored hacking groups (like Storm-0940/Volt Typhoon) that use them in
large-scale attacks, though TP-Link claims to be addressing security and has
not been found complicit.........
