FCC Grants Netgear a Time-Bound Pass for Foreign-Made Routers

Netgear won a conditional FCC exemption allowing it to sell new foreign-made Wi‑Fi routers and mesh systems while it seeks full certifications, with the exemption lasting until Oct 1, 2027. The Defense Department found no national security risk, but Netgear must still obtain FCC certifications for each device, giving an 18‑month window to certify future models. Other brands can continue selling existing models under separate deadlines, while the post-2027 path remains unclear.

FCC grants Netgear a temporary de facto router monopoly in the US

The FCC issued conditional approval allowing Netgear to sell and service new consumer routers in the US, effectively creating a temporary de facto monopoly for its Nighthawk and Orbi routers until October 1, 2027, contingent on a plan to bring manufacturing to the US and other conditions as the agency expands its foreign-made router ban.

US tightens router security, blocks new overseas-made models

The FCC designated consumer routers manufactured outside the US as a security risk, placing all new foreign-made router models on a Covered List. Existing US-based brands with overseas manufacturing are affected, but already-sold routers can still be used and updated through at least March 1, 2027. Conditional approvals may be granted if companies commit to moving some manufacturing to the US. Legal challenges are likely, and shoppers shouldn’t expect new router models on shelves until the policy is clarified.
