This is scary:

In recent years, TP-Link's market share has grown to approximately 65% of the U.S. market for SOHO routers (for homes and small business offices). This potentially artificial growth is powered by selling the devices for less than their manufacturing price, which the DOJ is also investigating.

Over 300 U.S. internet service providers are now issuing TP-Link devices as the default internet router for home users. The WSJ said that TP-Link routers are also present on the networks of multiple government agencies, including the Defense Department, NASA, and DEA.
