We should just ban foreign routers. Massachusetts invented routers, why would we import them?


Transistors were invented by the US as well, but then we got outpaced by Taiwan. Does that mean we should stop buying from TSMC as well?


What routers are you recommending?


If importing routers was banned, I’m sure Cisco and juniper would go back to making SMB routers. Juniper routers used to be made in Walnut Creek CA!


We’re not really talking SMB here I think, more home / prosumer level. I’d not expect Cisco or Juniper to go into that market segment.

Maybe Netgear/Mikrotik/Ubiquity/Thompson/D-Link/Frtizbox or someone else would edge in.


Cool, stupid backdoors coming to your smb router soon.


What about exports? do you want to stop those too
