Dec 18, 2024, 01:25 PM
US authorities are investigating Chinese router manufacturer TP-Link over possible national security risks, with a potential ban on the sale of its routers in the United States under consideration. TP-Link is the bestselling router on Amazon and holds roughly 65% of the US home and small business router market, with devices used in millions of American homes. Its devices have been linked to cyberattacks and security vulnerabilities. The Departments of Commerce, Defense, and Justice have opened investigations into TP-Link, and the ban could take effect as early as next year or in 2025.
