EFF: Banning New Foreign Routers Mistargets Products to Fix Real Problem
April 8, 2026
Incident Summary
On March 23, the FCC issued an update to its Covered List, which blocks listed equipment from obtaining the regulatory approval needed for U.S. sale, effectively banning sale of new devices on the list. The update was described as covering all new routers produced in foreign countries unless they are specifically excluded. The EFF criticized the approach as mistargeting products and not fixing the real problem. Limited public details are provided here about any enforcement actions, affected manufacturers, or changes tied specifically to Amazon Q Developer.
