FCC’s Router Ban Quietly Places an Expiration Date on Home Internet Security, PCMag
30 марта 2026 г.Partner Loyaan Egal was quoted in a PCMag article examining the Federal Communications Commission’s recent action restricting foreign-made Wi-Fi routers and the agency’s temporary waiver allowing software updates for existing devices.
Loyaan explained that the limited waiver reflects the logistical hurdles companies face in shifting global manufacturing and supply chains to a US-focused model, while also providing time for regulators to evaluate next steps.
“This exception acknowledges the practical challenges associated with completely shifting the global manufacturing and supply chain operations companies have relied on to one that requires a US domestic manufacturing and supply chain focus,” he said, adding that the one-year period gives companies and consumers time to adjust and allows the FCC to assess the waiver’s impact on future Covered List updates.
