Protection from DDos attacks
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hi there
I've recently ordered the Archer AX90, upon reading further about the 'free' homeshield it seems that there is a Pro version too.
The Pro version offers to protect you against DDos attacks which is great, but in fact needs a paid subscription it seems, does this mean that basic protections such as this are effectively unavailable unless you subscribe to the Pro version, or can you control this via the normal router settings by-passing homeshield.
Many thanks for your (aticipated) replies :)

It happens that the website information is not updated at the same time on different regional websites or that with the new FW some features has been changed.
So, I would suggest you to confirm that with a TP-Link official to be 100% sure before making a decision.

You can find the answer to your questions here - scroll down on this page to find a comparison table of the HomeShield features available in free and Pro version.
There's a note bellow the table stating that you can have one month free trial subscription for Pro features.

@Ivaylo Hi there, and thanks for your answer.
This is where i originally got my information from, it seems essentially that what would be considered basic protections in earlier TP-Link routers are now behind a subscription, very disappointing actually. It's like they have taken a router dumbed it down, and asking people to pay a subscription to 'undumb' it !
I will send it back as improperly described as there was no mention of the payment for what in other routers are considered basic security on the sellers website.
