The FCC decided that all foreign-made consumer-grade Internet routers are prohibited from receiving FCC authorization and are therefore prohibited from being imported for use or sale in the US. (infosec.exchange)

So buy a last gen router and then flash the update when you get it.

Outsourcing of manufactoring work is forbidden now? LOL

IMHO it is yet another scheme to make poor people pay more to rich people. And yet again nobody resists it.

It's that, and also an invitation to bribery, and also a demand for surveillance backdoors. And your router may need your biometric data to protect the children (but not from billionaire pedophiles).

Isn't Mikrotik commonly used for servers? Or is that just Europe?

[–] SleeplessCityLights@programming.dev 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I worked for an MSP that sold those products for all use cases. The Mikrotik home routers(with wifi) are the best you can buy, if you can figure them out. Most people run at least one Ubquity ap to get higher band radio coverage for their homes.

Yeah, heard a lot of good stuff, so I recently bought Chateau 5G R17 ax (I live in a rural area, but I do have 5g tower nearby and speeds are 5x better than they are on broadband). RouterOS blew me away and I realized there is so much I don't know, but getting there.

There is a demo online: https://demo.mt.lv/

Anecdotally, I haven't run into a single Mikrotik deployment since university.
