    • “The FCC has just granted Netgear a conditional approval to import its future consumer routers, cable modems, and cable gateways into the US through October 1st, 2027 — even though the company builds those devices in Asia and has not announced any plan to bring manufacturing to the United States.”

    • So, it sounds like Netgear can’t really be trusted if this “administration” is exempting them from the ban…
