Doesn't bother me too much considering that most bugs that I saw on those consumer routers generally comes from the security from things like administration pages and not the Wi-Fi network itself (unless it is something like KRACK that affects all devices implementing the protocol). So it seems pretty secure for me, at least sans some security bugs that I am sure that the device should have.
The authentication of new devices happens when you pair a new router using the application available on Android/iOS (it has a web interface too but AFAIK it doesn't allow adding new mesh routers to the network). It shows as hidden network on Wi-Fi Analyzer, but the network is not actually hidden in the same sense of a hidden Wi-Fi network: this simple happens because 802.11s has no concept of SSID. It is the 802.11s ( ), that uses its own encryption method based on Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) (yeah, that is the same as WPA3, however it came before it).
Not trying to defend TP-Link or anything, but I recently bought a pair of mesh router from them and they work very well.īTW, this hidden network probably uses another protocol (for the OneMesh).
