Comment on The US government just banned consumer routers made outside the US
Successful_Try543@feddit.org 15 hours agoIt seems like professional equipment will not be affected:
While the FCC’s Covered List makes it sound like the US is banning all “routers produced in a foreign country,” it’s defined a bit more narrowly than that. It’s specifically banning “consumer-grade routers” as defined in NIST Internal Report 8425A, which refers to ones “intended for residential use and can be installed by the customer.”

That’s not reassuring. It sounds like they don’t want home users to be able to get any router they could manage themselves.
