Almost exactly four months ago, I wrote about how the Trump administration was preparing to ban TP-Link routers, citing the company's alleged links to China. Now, the FCC has decided to ban *all* new models of foreign-made routers, even though many U.S.-made routers are also full of security flaws.

Banning TP-Link won't save America from its own terrible cybersecurity

TP-Link routers face a ban in the U.S. over the company's alleged links to China, but shoddy cybersecurity is the real insider threat to the United States.

I have no real reason to think China doesn't put backdoors in routers, but I also have no reason to think the major US brands don't either.

I'd probably buy european where possible for that kind of stuff.
