Sponsor: Thermaltake TR200 WS mATX Case on Amazon https://geni.us/bviRvG The US FCC router ban has updates: Now, the first products have been added to the exempted list -- and it's from Netgear, a company that has dedicated years to lobbying the federal government. The FCC also clarified that its router ban includes wireless hotspots (e.g. 5G hotspots), and the broad definition of a "router" could feasibly even include game consoles, phones, and simple range extenders. We dig through links within the ISP (Internet Service Provider) industry, including lobbying contributions, and find a path to what we think is long-term router subscriptions via "authorized" sources like ISPs. The risk of eventual government backdoors also prevails in such a situation. Conflicts of interest with Starlink also present concerns.
