U.

U.S. bans foreign-made routers on security grounds. The Federal Communications Commission has officially added foreign-manufactured consumer Wi-Fi routers to its "Covered List," restricting future imports due to national security concerns. The ban targets new models moving forward while allowing existing inventory and consumer-owned devices to remain in circulation. This regulatory action reflects growing government scrutiny of foreign technology in critical infrastructure, particularly amid geopolitical tensions. The restriction could reshape the router market, potentially benefiting domestic manufacturers and companies with U.S.-based production capabilities. Consumers and businesses may face limited options and potentially higher prices as supply chains adjust to the new requirements.
