A more troubling aspect of the Tenda U1 driver ecosystem is the lack of ongoing updates. The last official driver release from Tenda dates to 2017. Since then, no security patches have been issued—even when vulnerabilities like the KRACK attack (2017) or Broadpwn (2017) exposed flaws in Wi-Fi stacks that could be mitigated at the driver level.
