If you’re in the US and thinking of buying a new router to upgrade your home’s Wi-Fi, your choices could soon be drastically reduced, as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has introduced a ban on routers made outside of the US, claiming that there’s “an unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States and to the safety and security of U.S. persons.”
The move follows recent high-profile cyberattacks, in which the FCC claims that “routers produced abroad were directly implicated”.
