The FCC banned foreign-made consumer routers, which is *checks notes* all of them… minus the ones which are granted an exception.

We have data on exceptions.

You might wonder how it is the FCC regulates Internet routers. It's complicated.

First, FCC certification has long been required for virtually all microprocessor-equipped electronics, to ensure compliance with RF emission limits.

Then, in 2020, Congress enacted 47 USC § 1601, the "secure networks act", which requires the FCC to maintain a list of networking equipment determined to pose risks to national security: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/47/1601

Equipment on the list can't receive FCC certification.

Nambe Lake, my favorite hike in the Sangres. I didn't get to go last year -- wasn't up to the climb -- but this year I should be okay, and I'm looking forward to it once all the snow clears.
