re: How safe are ‘other’ mesh WiFi systems?

Thanks for all the comments. I’m a newbie, but I do understand what you all mean about spending more for something well-known. I don’t need a lot of advanced settings, so something closer to the Google Wi-Fi price range is better than some $500 rig. My only hesitation with google was what you mentioned, their notorious targeting with snooping, ads and data collection but I’m guessing they have all that info on me anyway

My router is years old, and I’m in a new house where there are too many walls between the only cable modem point and other devices. Should be a good time to try it out. I like that TP Link one but I also like the mesh force, I just wonder if it’s safe to use if it’s a Chinese company.

case in point, the mesh force unit linked in the first post seems to be from a Chinese company. But all the reviews and youtube reviews really love it. So can I trust a Chinese company with my router? Are there security issues from lesser known companies?
I’m a newbie but I don’t want to have my banking info swiped, if that is even a possibility.

How safe are ‘other’ mesh WiFi systems?
Posted by jojojoeyjojo on 1/11/19 at 7:36 am
I want to install Mesh WiFi for my house and several people I know are using systems that not well known. Not Google WiFi or anything.
The best reviewed one for the best price I’ve found is the MeshForce whole home internet. But is it safe to use a product that’s from a new company? Other attractive units are also from companies I’ve never heard of.
My question is Is this the Wild West of mesh internet where this is expected? Or am I getting scammed unless I stick to Google or Netgear’s Orbi?
