Not a dupe really. Those are FCC links about a covered list, not directly about a ban. Some topics are better off being covered redundantly from multiple angles.
The best router to use would be one with a foundation-controlled active open-source firmware that works, although ideally the hardware assembly too should be open source.

I imagine Ubiquiti (unifi) is really happy with how this is going.
Yep, providing front line comms to Russia in the Ukraine war as well as being gifted a virtual oligopoly by the US government is quite the win for their profits.
Google says they are not made in usa
Cisco?
Snowden already denounced USA gov spying using Cisco routers
