Federal Communications Commission Bans Foreign-Made Routers in the U.S.​

The FCC is blocking foreign-made routers from entering the U.S., with concerns that external routers could expose American networks to cyberattacks within their homes. This results in routers being primarily manufactured by the U.S. with an exception of routers that clear national security. This new rule potentially breaks the bond with Chinese router supply chains, known for providing services to American homes.
