    Are there actually any US-made consumer network routers on the market? All the brands I can think of are pretty much made in Asia these days.

      Ubiquiti is an American company, not sure if the tech is really MADE here though, seems like that’d be weird considering the components are all made outside the US anyway.

        Ubiquiti may not be considered consumer with regards to this, but it’s pretty unclear so it’s a bit of a gamble.

          Yeah, it’s all so ambiguous. I switched to them because they were better made and cheaper than the Netgear I was forced to replace after 1.5yrs. It’ll be interesting to see where this ends up. Probably lawsuits. Glad I’m already set for a while, I guess.

          It would be funny if, like, the UniFi line got banned but the EdgeOS line didn’t just based on target audience

          It’s not a ruling, the FCC was ordered decided that they’re not going to certify any new foreign made home routing equipment. No certification means the radios won’t be legal for consumers to operate

          This isn’t a law or judicial ruling, it’s policy

          Nah, “conditional approval” is written into the regulation. You might know this wording better as “pay us a large sum and we’ll give you approval.”

            Based on the regulation as written, approval is granted only if the company:

            • Fully reveals their entire supply chain
            • All business relationships and contracts
            • Justifies why they aren’t producing in the US
            • And provides a detailed step-by-step plan with a fixed schedule for moving production to the US
            • Which is then monitored by the government
