Hello!

So I was looking through the settings of my Archer C7 router when I stumbled upon the USB Settings -> Offline Download -> Advanced -> aMule Settings.

There seems to be a public IP adress added to this setting by default? Why?

 

The IP is: 91.200.42.46, as can be seen here in the user guide aswell: https://www.tp-link.com/us/user-guides/archer-a7&c7_v5/usb-settings-us-4.0#ug-sub-title-3 (Scroll all the way down to the bottom)

 

I don't use or intent to use this Offline Download option at all so I have it disabled. But are there any security implications of having this IP adress hard-coded into the router by default? It can't even be removed or altered without using this function?
