If you’ve been putting off a router upgrade, now is the time to act. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) just effectively banned the import of all new foreign-made routers.
In a fact sheet put out by the FCC, the government agency explained that it has updated its Covered List to “include all consumer-grade routers produced in foreign countries.” This move comes after a determination by the White House which found that these routers “pose unacceptable risks to the national security of the United States” as well as the safety and security of its citizens.
