The FCC has placed all foreign-made routers on the Covered List, which effectively bans new products from sale within the United States. The move follows the National Security Determination, which concluded that routers used by homes and home offices could be targeted by foreign actors. The list, which includes "routers produced in a foreign country" added to the list, means that no future routers manufactured in such a country will receive FCC licenses to be sold in the US. The FCC does not necessarily mean that Americans will not be permitted to own these routers, but it can serve as a tool to authorize new devices that emit radio waves for sale in the U.S. If the FCC refuses to authorize any new routers that are produced outside the US, they won't be sold. The agency did not specify which companies were included in the list.
