      Routers are incredibly simple. You can run your own using openwrt or opnsense. Then some dumb switches and access points and you’re good to go.

        Upvoting this, you can turn any computer into a router as well. You can have control of your own hardware.

          The problem is that this is not targeting the <1% that would just build their own router. Surveilance and control of the other 99% is sufficient.

            I totally agree, but hopefully with some advocacy we can get it from 99 to 98%. Doesn’t sound like much, but that’s 2 million people who have switched then, and whoever else may live in their house using their non-routers.

      It sounds like you should still be able to buy stuff, I don’t believe it takes active effect immediately

      It only applies to router models that aren’t approved by FCC yet. I.e., you will be able allowed to buy those (current and future) models who already have an FCC approval.
