    The FCC Just Banned the Sale of New Wi-Fi Router Models Made Outside US

    The surprising order means any new Wi-Fi router models sold in the country must be US-made, or receive an exemption from the Pentagon or Homeland Security Department.

    This sounds like kind of a big deal....

      I feel like if we wait a moment, the government will find a way to approve of those routers, FOR A FEE. Which would of course be passed on by the company to the consumer.

            Looks like I will have to hang on to my ... let's see ... 14 year old Wi-Fi routers even longer.

              Can anyone name a router that is not made in China?
