The U.S. Federal Communications Commission is evaluating restrictions on the sale and use of Wi-Fi routers from specific foreign manufacturers to address cybersecurity risks and protect American digital infrastructure.

The proposed measures could remove popular, affordable router brands from the market, requiring retailers and consumers to seek alternatives that comply with stricter U.S. security standards.
