US bans foreign-made routers

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has implemented a ban on the sale of new consumer-grade Wi-Fi routers manufactured outside the United States. This regulatory action aims to enhance national security by preventing the use of potentially compromised hardware in American homes and businesses. The ban affects routers that do not meet specific security standards and could impact consumers' choices for networking equipment. Consumers and businesses will need to ensure their future router purchases comply with these new federal guidelines.
