Breaking: The FCC's Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau has issued an immediate expansion of the Covered List under the Secure Networks Act, prohibiting FCC equipment authorizations for all routers produced in foreign countries. Citing persistent cyber threats from state and non-state actors — including the Volt, Flax, and Salt Typhoon campaigns that targeted US communications, energy, transportation, and water infrastructure — the Commission determined that foreign-produced routers create unacceptable supply chain and cybersecurity risks to American homes, businesses, and critical infrastructure. Scope: Consumer-grade residential routers only — enterprise equipment is not covered. Production is defined broadly to include manufacturing, assembly, design, and development: a router designed in China but assembled elsewhere remains covered. All affected producers may apply for a Conditional Approval from the Dept. of War or DHS to continue receiving FCC authorization during a transition period.
