The government’s not taking away my router, right?

No, you can keep using your router in the United States of America no matter where it was made — the FCC is crystal-clear about that. You can even go buy a replacement: “Consumers will continue to be able to purchase previously authorized routers,” it writes.

So it doesn't ban foreign-made routers. It just makes everything more expensive and worse (over time). Got it.

The more you read about it the more you realize it is just incredibly stupid.
