Nostr
The US router ban is real, but much of the panic around it is off base.
This is not a recall. Your current router is not about to be switched off. Previously approved models can still be sold, and software and firmware updates are allowed until at least 1 March 2027.
The real impact lands on future foreign-made consumer routers, which now face a much tougher path into the US market.
Will this genuinely improve security, or shrink consumer choice and push up prices?
