@peark.es PCMag article confirming foreign made routers cannot be sold in USA. Glad I upgraded my ASUS router last year.

Snip:
Late on Monday afternoon, the FCC announced the order, based on a White House determination that foreign-made routers introduce “supply chain vulnerabilities” that hackers and cyberspies can exploit. Specifically, the commission updated its “covered list,” which acts as a blacklist of telecom equipment deemed to pose an unacceptable risk to US national security. It now includes “all consumer-grade routers produced in foreign countries.”

I'd really like to know how routers for consumers have jack shit to do with supply chains or any aspect of national security.
