Hello @BackTrack5R3

Thank you very much for posting on the TP-Link Community. We appreciate and value having security concerns brought to our attention.

The report mentions TL-WR940N carrying non-TP-Link official firmware with malicious customizations and embedded scripts. We can assure you that routers with TP-Link official firmware are not affected.

We strongly recommend our users not install any kind of unofficial firmware on their routers. And we recommend updating your router to the latest TP-Link official firmware to ensure the security of their devices. Keep in mind that router firmware is rolling out gradually to different models and or hardware, please keep an eye on the router web GUI or each model’s official product page and update your router to the latest TP-Link official firmware as soon as the new firmware is released.
