Potential Ban on TP-Link Routers

The U.S. government is considering banning TP-Link routers, a Chinese manufacturer that dominates the American market with a 65% share. Authorities are investigating links between these routers and cyberattacks, raising national security concerns. Investigations by the Commerce, Defense, and Justice Departments suggest that the routers could be used by hacking networks tied to Chinese actors targeting Western entities. This potential ban marks a significant move in U.S.-China tech tensions and follows similar actions against companies like Huawei.
