FCC just handed Netgear a de facto router monopoly in the US
The Federal Communications Commission has granted Netgear conditional approval, effectively exempting it from a ban on foreign-made networking routers and giving it a de facto monopoly in the US. Netgear CEO CJ Prober stated the company is committed to leading the US consumer router category. This approval covers Nighthawk and Orbi lines until October 2027, while other companies face restrictions on foreign-made equipment.
