FCC Router Ban Reshapes the US Wi-Fi Brand Leaderboard.
An FCC ban on foreign-made Wi‑Fi routers, supported by Ookla’s Speedtest data, reshapes the US market where Eero leads with about 10% share, TP-Link is close behind, and Netgear follows, with Arcadyan and Askey also in the mix. While existing routers can continue to be used and receive updates through March 1, 2027, vendors may seek exemptions and the policy could raise costs and slow innovation. Security concerns persist about vulnerabilities in aging devices, including TP-Link models, prompting users to check whether their router is affected and to watch for potential legal challenges to the rules.
