As part of the country's defense-shoring strategy, the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has put "all consumer-grade routers produced in foreign countries" on the Covered List. This means foreign routers are now "deemed to pose an unacceptable risk to the national security of the US or the safety and security of US persons" and will require special permission to be sold in the US.
The FCC notes that "the restrictions imposed today apply to new device models", not ones consumers already own, or ones being sold and marketed that have been previously approved by the FCC.
