US regulator bans imports of new foreign-made routers, citing security concerns | Reuters

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has banned the import of new foreign-made consumer routers due to security concerns, citing risks to U.S. critical infrastructure and past exploitation in hacks like Volt and Salt Typhoon. This order, which includes an exemption for Pentagon-approved routers, does not affect existing models but is the latest action against Chinese-made electronics, following a similar ban on new Chinese drones.
