The US is trying to do to TP-Link what they did to Huawei. Even though, as the article mentions, TP-Link devices have a US-based supply chain and are manufactured in Vietnam. This is literally just the US not allowing China to own any value-added consuming facing products in the US.

CNET has several TP-Link models on our lists of the best Wi-Fi routers and will monitor this story closely to see if we need to reevaluate those choices. While our evaluation of the hardware hasn't changed, we're pausing our recommendations of TP-Link routers until we learn more.

It's pretty lame for CNET to say "we've evaluated the hardware, it's good, but we won't recommend them while the US Government is investigating them." Obviously it'd be a different thing if they were all proven to be more insecure than other brands by cyber security experts...
