TP-Link routers face potential U.S. ban over alleged China-related national security concerns — company "vigorously disputes" Department of Commerce's findings

The U.S. government is considering banning TP-Link routers due to national security concerns over the company's ties to China, despite TP-Link's denial of any security risks. TP-Link, controlling a significant portion of the U.S. router market, is under investigation for its pricing strategies and alleged connections to China. While TP-Link Systems operates out of the U.S., its parent company, TP-Link Technologies, is based in China. The Department of Commerce's proposal for the ban involves a two-phase process, with negotiations likely to occur during the response period. If implemented, this ban would have significant implications for the tech market, similar to the Huawei ban.
