The FCC says foreign routers 'pose an unacceptable risk' and now require special approval to be sold in the US
The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has added foreign-produced consumer routers to a 'Covered List,' deeming them an unacceptable national security risk. New foreign routers will require special approval to be sold in the US, though existing devices are unaffected. This measure aims to mitigate risks such as network surveillance and cyberattacks, particularly those linked to state-sponsored actors.
