Besides them trying to upsell me a new router, what does this mean? (sh.itjust.works)

Is my network actually at any risk? Should I take any steps now that I'm not receiving security updates? This was a really expensive router and I'm going back to school so I'm definitely not going to be in the market for a new one for quite a while. Probably wouldn't be going back to tplink even if I did.

Thoughts?

R6700 can run FreshTomato firmware.

Edit: If you do flash custom firmware, be sure to figure out exactly what model of R6700 you have; I think this is one of those in which v1/v2/v3 all have completely different hardware inside, and flashing the wrong one can brick it.
