The FCC decided that all foreign-made consumer-grade Internet routers are prohibited from receiving FCC authorization and are therefore prohibited from being imported for use or sale in the US. (infosec.exchange)

Isn't TP Link a US company?

TP-Link is a Chinese technology company that manufactures network equipment and smart home products. The company was established in 1996 in Shenzhen.

TIL! I assume theres gotta be at least some US manufacturing of routers... I hope... otherwise the US just banned using the internet in effect lol

Ubiquity is a US company, but all their stuff is made in Asia.

Linksys is a US company formerly owned by Cisco, but all their stuff is manufactured in Asia.

Netgear is a US company, but all their stuff is manufactured in Asia.

ASUS is Taiwanese.

I guess the router supplied by your ISP might be exempt?

Itd be weird to be exempt

Its really sounding like the FCC banned all routers and companies can only comply by running their own they install software on manually XD
