But CNET senior writer and router expert Joe Supan says don’t panic buy anything yet. Here’s why. #wifi #router #fcc #policy Read more: If You Buy a New…

This makes no sense. What does it matter what new models are going to be allowed onto the market if you are buying now?
Waiting might make sense if a few years later the rest of the world has all the latest models and they still haven’t started making them here but…

Yeah all this makes me think it’s a reason to buy now.

I totally agree we need to be making our own stuff, but there should have been a time set aside for US manufacturers to get going.

The fact that we make almost nothing in tech is insane. What if Chins suddenly decided to cut us off?

This highlights why having open source firmware support is a useful feature.

Arbitrary nationalism is a waste. FCC should be busy testing routers – just tell us which are secure.
As for updates… Why not just buy a fully debugged, secure router in the first place?

I saw someones takee that printers fall into the realm of “routers”. They have ethernet ports… they have wifi… they can pass info across both ports, which is the function of a router. It routes info. Inless FCC narrows it’s definitions, then almost EVERY network device is a router.

A router is a device the takes the information from an ISP modem and ‘routes’ it into multiple, often hundreds, of IP addresses. Then it receives the information from the devices and turns it back into a single signal to go back into the ISP modem. Printers are that IP addressed device, they are not capable of making their own WiFi network.

Build your own router and use pfsense or something and done.

People here would be surprised what isn’t allowed in the U.S. they have no idea about. 😀 – If you think this is such a limitation and so not free, just go do some research.

Every electronic device in the US has non US made parts, unless starlink is making their own chips and sourcing from the US (maybe they are because I don’t fallow them 😛 )
