When your router's chips are made in China, flashed in China with closed source firmware and the money you pay goes to Chinese companies, then it's backdoored.

When your router's chips are made in China, flashed in China with closed source firmware and the money you pay goes to American companies, it's bulletproof.

Just open your "secure" "American" router and look where they are made and flashed. I bet it's not USA.
