The surprising order means any new Wi-Fi router models sold in the country must be US-made, or receive an exemption from the Pentagon or Homeland Security Department.
They’re gonna tell you this is the only way to be sure that routers don’t contain a backdoor. They’re gonna tell themselves this is the only way to be sure that routers do contain a backdoor.
It can be both.
Oh no. What will we do.
Oh yeah. just build one in a white box.
Painting a target on himself
Put it before the white box, then wireguard or ygg out to a vps. Fuck 'em.
does this support wireless, aka Wi-Fi? I can’t tell from a ~1 minute skim
not reading it either, but if they don’t say how, you just configure hostapd
If there are drivers for your card, yes.
Exemptions will be sold by Trump to major manufacturers outside of the US. They will also come with mandatory back doors.
Welp, time to stock up on some older routers or make my own. This country is looking more Orwellian by the day.
Same goes for EV’s, mobile phones etc. The US is one of the most limited countries in the world with regards to choice.
Just to remind you as the surveillance state crawls further up between your kidneys that Epstein used a free gmail account hosted on US servers and nobody did dick about him.
Yeah but I’m poor. All the laws apply to me no matter how stupid and hypocritical.
OH BOY! State sanctioned surveillance because backdoors are necessary.
When filing for an exemption, the company needs to submit a specific plan for how they’re going to move manufacturing to the US 💀
Make up shit and backtrack once trump is out of office, just like they did during the first administration.
So the spyware will be built into American-made routers. Got it.
So ship all the parts here and assemble them here… foreign companies have been doing this for decades.
I’m sure some moron thinks this will “create jobs”. I’ll let you guess who the moron is.
No way tech companies won’t manipulate this to their benefit right? Gonna be having routers shipped in decoy packages. I’m not buying backdoor infested mess they’re gonna peddle at an unreasonable price cause there can be no outside competition.
I’m in Ohio. I wonder how hard it’d be to drive to Canada, pick up a router, and drive back?
Or hell…maybe just drive to Canada. I’m sure I can find a job and a place to live, right? Just go to a Tim Hortons and say “Hey, I’m gonna work hete now, because fuck America!” and Canadians are like, legally obligated to be nice. I’m sure it’ll all work out, as long as I share some donuts.
The hardest part will be getting used to pink money.
I mean, seriously Canada? You a big fan of monopoly money?
I’m in Ohio. I wonder how hard it’d be to drive to Canada, pick up a router, and drive back?
You jest, but I suspect this is going to be a Thing. I mean, people were willing to do it for eggs (and getting caught at the border), and a router’s a rather larger purchase.

what if th government prohibits your ISP from initilizing your routers MAC address because its not one on an approved list?
So the FCC won’t let me be, or let me be me, so let me see…they try to shut down the internet on my pc, but it would be so empty without me!
Made me chuckle in these dark times. Cheers!
Then make it lie. Spoofing is a thing that sometimes works!
Routers are not modems.
Put your router behind the company issued modem and then VPN out.
*Unless you pay tribute to the authoritarian government.
I’m guessing to receive an exemption they just need to pay a relatively cheap bribe
Given Ubiquiti’s Russian connections, and TP Link’s Chinese connections, this honestly isn’t surprising.
Brendan Carr is such a dummy!
