TP-Link sued by four US states over router security claims
Florida, Iowa, Montana and Nebraska have filed lawsuits against TP-Link Systems, claiming the router maker misled consumers about how secure its devices are and how closely it is tied to China.
The attorneys general of the four states filed the complaints on October 6 in their own state courts, each under local consumer protection law. Texas brought a similar case against the company in February.

The complaints are almost identical. They argue that TP-Link oversells the protection its products offer. They point to claims that the HomeShield service "covers all security scenarios" and that, as late as November 2025, it provided a "100% safeguard."
