Netgear Wins FCC Exemption from Router Ban

Netgear has secured the first exemption from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regarding the ban on foreign-made routers. This conditional approval permits Netgear to continue selling new router models and provide indefinite software updates for its products. In contrast, competitors remain subject to the restrictions imposed by the ban. The exemption provides Netgear with a significant competitive advantage, allowing it to maintain market access and product support while others face limitations.
