Fun times. NSA/FCC just added any foreign made home networking gear to the NDAA covered list. That covers all of it. They will grant exemptions to favored companies but at what cost?

They just hate competing with other nations to spy on us.

Not all networking equipment was banned. Any product lines that are already on sale can still be sold.

The govt is not going to come take your equipment or shut your home network down.

Not until their preferred equipment is in all our homes.

So should I buy a new router now or wait? My network has been stable for years.

They want you to wait for government approved equipment. Right now, they're all still banned.

Edit. I was wrong. Some newer Starlink routers are fully USA designed/manufactured.

All China gear has backdoors in it. If you think they don't conduct espionage this way, you're naive.

That said, NSA is just as bad and does the same thing.

Every word of it is true. Tonight, Meal Team 6 breached my home, seized my WiFi router, and conducted a full mattress tag inspection like it was a federal operation.

I outmaneuvered them with a pizza delivery and sealed them outside.

I am shaken. Deeply shaken.
