TL;DR
  • The FCC has updated the FAQ on its ban of foreign-made Wi-Fi routers.
  • The update adds that the ban also covers foreign-made portable Wi-Fi hotspots and LTE/5G CPE devices.
  • Mobile phones with hotspot features remain safe from the ban.

The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) recently banned all foreign-made consumer-grade Wi-Fi routers. While there are a few exceptions, this effectively prevents any new foreign-made routers from being sold or imported into the US. The government agency has now expanded the ban to include Wi-Fi hotspots and LTE/5G customer premises equipment (CPE) devices.
