U.S. Weighs Ban on Chinese-Made Router in Millions of American Homes
U.S. authorities are investigating whether a Chinese company whose popular home-internet routers have been linked to cyberattacks poses a national-security risk and are considering banning the devices. The router-manufacturer TP-Link, established in China, has roughly 65% of the U.S. market for routers for homes and small businesses. It is also the top choice on Amazon.com and powers internet communications for the Defense Department and other federal government agencies.
