The US government just banned consumer routers made outside the US
"The Federal Communications Commission banned all future drones made in foreign countries from being imported into the United States, citing an unacceptable risk to national security."
"The FCC is saying it will no longer authorize the radios of foreign-made consumer routers, which de facto bans new devices from import into the country."
"Router makers need to secure a 'conditional approval' that lets them keep getting new products cleared for US entry while they work to convince the government that they'll open up manufacturing in the US."
The FCC has prohibited the import of foreign-made consumer routers, citing national security concerns. Existing routers can still be used, and previously authorized products can continue to be imported. However, the ban effectively prevents new foreign consumer routers from entering the U.S. market. Router manufacturers must either obtain conditional approval to continue importing while shifting production to the U.S. or choose not to sell future products in the U.S. market.
