    I get why ISP provided routers and some brands of mesh router would collect and sell data but what is it about “mesh” that is particularly bad here? I have a cheap TP Link router that is apparently mesh compatible but it seems like a traditional router in all the other way. Should I be concerned?

      Obviously, I can’t tell you about the privacy implications of every internet routing device on the planet.

      I was just trying to provide a more complete and longer TL;DR than the one I was responding to.

      Sounds like you know what you are doing as well as anyone could, you don’t need my TLDR

        You state that mesh is much worse for privacy than traditional access points but refuse to elaborate

            Lol it’s similar to like r/techsupport on Reddit where every reaponse is “you must have malware” when the OP clearly doesn’t. People in these communities have absolutely no clue what they’re talking about. They just parrot misinformation.
