TP-Link pledges to assemble routers in the US as newest models stay blocked
TP-Link says it will assemble routers in the US, while its newest models remain unavailable here under a foreign router ban.
TP-Link has pledged to assemble routers in the US, according to Ars Technica. The Verge says it asked the company about the plan, but the excerpt available does not include TP-Link's answers.
The company cannot currently sell its latest routers in the US. Ars Technica reports that rivals have received FCC approvals while TP-Link has not.
The Verge says TP-Link just launched its first Wi-Fi 8 routers but cannot bring them to the US because of President Donald Trump's foreign router ban. It notes that competitors Netgear and Asus make their routers in Asia, and that those companies have still obtained approvals.
Neither report, in the portions available, says when or where TP-Link would assemble routers in the US.
