The impact of the ban on foreign-made routers that the FCC implemented in March is still causing reverberations. While some router manufacturers have received exemptions, one of the largest, TP-Link is not among them. Now the company looks like it might have found a way to keep selling routers in the United States.
TP-Link has announced a partnership with tech manufacturer Key Tronic Corporation to assemble its products in the United States, beginning with production of its Wi-Fi 8 routers in Mississippi (via PCMag). Production will begin “as early as next year.”
