Title: US bans import of foreign routers due to security concerns
Post by: Redaktion on March 24, 2026, 12:51:35
While the state sector has long restricted the use of foreign networking equipment, the Federal Communications Commission's recent actions mark a significant escalation. Now, "all consumer-grade routers produced in foreign countries" are banned from being imported to the US.

Is this trolling? Banning all "foreign" made routers wouldn't just ban ones made in China but anything produced in any EU, Asia (including Taiwan) and Latin America (including Mexico).

Where is the US going to get routers from then? They don't make any.

This has got to be trolling and likely not actually followed through or taken seriously.

All correct. But, are you expecting any sense from the US clownfest? 😁
