The Federal Communications Commission has released a notice designating consumer routers manufactured outside the US as a security risk. New foreign-made router models will be added to the Covered List, deemed a national security risk. Companies can apply for conditional approval for new products from the Department of War or Homeland Security, but must plan to shift manufacturing to the US. Legal challenges may arise from companies with production facilities overseas, including Chinese tech giants and US companies like NetGear, Eero, and Google Nest. Expect delays in new router models on store shelves.
