New Non US-made routers banned from sale?

What gives?

Even all the major chinese brands are ndaa complaint. it looks like residential devices, go enterprise/smb in your home. You will get way better performance anyways.

My humor reply on reddit (I think it was good):

You also need to be 18 years old and have proof of citizenship to use one.

I think the “gov’t getting into your router” might have been more like them working with the vendor to push a firmware update with “various bug fixes and updates”.

Prosumer brands like Ubiquiti/Unifi. Even though some modem/router models the fiber companies are offering are faster than my UDR7, I prefer to own the hardware.
