How in the world are they going to ban all routers made in foreign countries when pretty much every router, even those from an American company, is made/assembled in China or Vietnam? Take a look at the label on the bottom of your router, it probably doesn't say Made in USA...

The FCC today updated its list of products that can't be sold in the U.S. to include *all* consumer routers made in foreign countries. It's a big but potentially disruptive move to limit supply-chain security risks to U.S. networks. https://docs.fcc.gov/... [image]

As you probably could have guessed, virtually all routers are *made* outside of the US. The reason they worded it this way is that Chinese router OEMs have set up contractors in electronics manufacturing hubs to add a layer of separation. Allied designers will be given waivers.

The order makes clear that: 1.) Previously-imported routers are not affected by the move, 2.) Manufacturers can receive a “conditional approval” to continue selling their devices in the U.S. — some probably will.

Stop trying to make fetch happen... Seriously. The plan to bring back US manufacturing is just ‘ban everything we use until they make it here,’ and that's not a plan. It's not even the concepts of a plan. It's just idiocy driven by idiots.
