The TP-Link Archer C5400X gaming router is vulnerable to security flaws that could enable an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute commands on the device.
The TP-Link Archer C5400X is a high-end tri-band gaming router designed to provide robust performance and advanced features for gaming and other demanding applications, and based on the number of user reviews the product has on online stores, it appears to be a popular choice among gamers.
