FCC bans all foreign-produced routers over ‘unacceptable risks to national security’By Ben Wodecki
Imports of consumer-grade foreign-made routers subject to Covered List over cybersecurity and supply chain vulnerabilities
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) moved to ban imports of all foreign-produced routers over “unacceptable risks to national security.”
A public notice dated March 23 extends the import ban to consumer-grade devices produced outside the U.S. The move does not impact any previously-purchased consumer-grade routers, the FCC confirmed, with consumers still able to use devices they’ve already acquired.
I'm glad, and surprised it took our government so long.
But are there any US router manufacturers left to buy from?
