I will provide a list of all the commercially available US made routers below
<null>
Good hunting !
Not even Cisco makes them in the US…
So… like all of them.
So Unifi routers were just banned by the FCC?
Just mad because there’s ain’t no nsa back doors in foreign routers
Welp, better stock up on routers while they’re in stock.
So no WiFi routers in America, then.
Since, ya know. *we don’t make any*
All to slow and make information more difficult to get. Fascist.
If they want to go after someone who is run/sponsored by the CCP, then get after VmWare(Broadcom)
The good news is i’ve got all the routers i need. For the rest of you, quit voting for trump you f*tards.
Funny, they said the same about tiktok spying, before they turned it into a domestic spy network
There’s no US manufacturing of routers. Existing routers in the US are going to get soooo expensive. Only the Trump administration could cook up this insane policy.
So everyone goes back to two cans and a string?
Well duh, how else are they supposed to control the flow of information?
I can get you made in the USA routers, wireless access points, etc. They are readily available.
You are not going to like the price though.
To government body that just admitted to buying up American’s phone location data for mass surveillance is worried a foreign government body will hijack your WiFi network.
Poetic.
Looks like they allow for a brand like Netgear or Linksys to get a Conditional Approval, but it comes at the cost of requiring an 18 month time-bound plan to begin manufacturing their routers in the US or expand existing manufacturing… of which this only exists for non-consumer higher end hardware, like some of what Cisco offers.
18 damn months. What’s with this fast track BS? It’s so damn unfeasible.
Cannot wait for the announcement this week of one of Trumps children or friends founding a Made in the USA router manufacturer.
Their manufacturing process will be taking existing routers, filling them with McDonalds ketchup and lighting them on fire and shipping them to customers
Article impossible to read.
Old computer, PFSense or Open sense. If you’re not sure what that means put it into YouTube, you’ll be up and running in an hour.
Any computer with multiple network ports can be a router and the ban doesn’t seem to cover wireless access points. So a lot of people are going to get forced into the prosumer networking space.
Time to break out the Pis
Holy shit I am glad I just bought a new one a few days ago.
Dang! I’d just won a Israeli made router
Just curious, did Trump and/or his buddies buy communication company stocks recently? Like Cisco or whatever.
With this news, it would increase the demand of existing routes though the roof, thus increasing their value significantly, right? Would this increase their stock prices, too?
With the stock prices increasing drastically, they could sell them all off and suddenly FCC drops the ban, and everything goes back to normal?
„until a bribe is received“
“The FCC order does not impact the import or use of existing models, but will ban new ones.”
See: The most popular podcast inside a podcast: Brendan Carr is a Dummy.
We should all start running old insecure routers. I have an old netgear 3700 wireless n router
I see the US wants to become a backwater failed state then?
is this a journey to become like North Korea? No foreign stuff allowed and everything is bad and made locally.
How far in does US made go? The chips all have embedded software written offshore as is the chip design software, where one could bury a malware inserter. Does that mean all the software & libraries need to be US sourced, too? Asking for a friend…
These foreign routers have Chinese back doors, not American back doors, so they need to be banned for having the wrong back doors.
Downvote for paywall website.
Lead ballons don’t fly.
This will turn into all the parts being made where they currently are, and a company that bribed, eeerrr, was approved by the Pentagon assembles it in the US and loads it with an approved firmware.
Palantir and Doge have all of our top secret and classified information, social security numbers and medical information.
when you’re in the surveillance business, you don’t want any competition.
just for Privacy reasons, my American friends…. please do not let your stupid arsehead Administration take everything from you, that once was rightfully your own.
literally all routers are foreign made lmao
This will last about exactly as long as the veggies in your fridge. Businesses aren’t going to wait.
Wonder if this includes Mikrotik. They’re not as consumer friendly as TP-Link but I like their flexibility. So much so I have a spare ready to go just in case.
Excuse me? What is the plan then?
Oh well, so long mikrotik. It was good while it lasted.
Hello pfsense on a junk PC
„The FCC order does not impact the import or use of existing models, but will ban new ones.“
So first it was electric cars now internet routers where the US will be left behind.
I wonder if they consider access points to be routers as well. I really like my tp-link wap. This is so fucking ridiculous. I’m more concerned about my own government spying on me versus a foreign one.
Guess I’m building my next router.
See, the problem is that this is equal parts “China is bad” and “USA is bad”, and for like the same reasons of wanting to mine data for blackmail and to manipulate us with propaganda.
One great sign of USA badness is that it’s not just like China routers, but all foreign routers. So if say France produced something, NOPE.
