floofloofThe 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.
… does America even manufacture routers?
empireOfLove2We don’t lol
Electronics manufacture of any kind has been heavily outsourced since at least 1995.
That only means we’re going to take over a country that makes routers.
China? Yeah fat chace
n7gifmdnIt depends on their version the fcc is considering “manufactured”. If they mean it in a literal sense, there’s pretty much just starlink. If they mean it can be an American company but put together overseas then there’s plenty, like Netgear and Linksys.
linksys is owned by foxconn since 2018, the times when they were cheap brand of cisco are long gone.
I think the last time that was the case, they were called modems and made by US Robotics.
Shortly after the chips and components started coming from Japan and eventually Taiwan.
