"Netgear is the first retail consumer router company to receive conditional approval from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) as a trusted consumer router company. We hope this recognition gives you added peace of mind -- knowing that the network powering your home meets rigorous standards."
"The ban itself restricts new foreign-made routers from being imported or sold in the US unless they receive approval. Existing models already being sold in stores or that are in your home are unaffected."
"The FCC made this move following a review by a White House-convened interagency body, which determined that routers produced in foreign countries pose 'unacceptable risks to the national security of the United States and to the safety and security of US persons.'"
Netgear has been granted conditional approval by the FCC to sell new routers in the US, exempting them from a recent ban on foreign-made routers until October 1, 2027. This approval includes popular models like the Nighthawk and Orbi. The FCC's ban restricts the import and sale of new foreign-made routers due to national security concerns. Existing Netgear routers will continue to receive updates, ensuring ongoing support for current users.
