WTF?! First they ban DJI drones, memory prices are insane thanks to data center hoarding, now routers. Maybe I need to buy a bunch for Ebay resale before they are totally banned?

Anything Can Be A Router, If You Try Hard Enough If you’re an American and you use the Internet at home, it seems probable that routers are going to be in short supply. The US government recently mandated all such devices be home grown for security reasons, which would be fine were it not that the US has next-to-no consumer-grade router manufacturing industry. So if you’re in the US and you need a router, what can you do? [Noah Bailey] is here from Canada to point out that almost anything (within reason) in computer terms can be made to perform as a router. The piece is really a guide to setting up a Linux router, which he does on a small form factor PC and a hacked-together assembly of old laptop, PCI-express extender, and scrap network kit. In its most basic form a router doesn’t need the latest and greatest hardware, so there exists we’re guessing almost two decades of old PCs just waiting to be pressed into service. Perhaps it won’t help the non-technical Man In The Street much, but maybe it’ll inspire a few people to save themselves a hefty bill when they need to connect. You can read our coverage of the ban here.

The FCC just dropped a bombshell: a major crackdown on Wi-Fi router imports.

Why? It all leads back to "Salt Typhoon"—a Chinese state-sponsored espionage unit that has successfully infiltrated networking devices globally. Stephen Foskett discusses.

This is what I was talking about last Monday. It's a big deal.

Only Starlink is not hit by the ban. Starlink would be a Elon Musk company. Naturally.

My Chinese spy router aka TP-link is failing so I just ordered a new router from GL.iNet. I like that it runs OpenWRT software and can operate as a hub for network attached storage and do all kinds of other stuff I'll probably never try. Looking forward to setting it up.

since #routers can be used to spy on everyone, using wifi signals to create a 3D map of the surrounding area, including nearby people, isn't it in our best interest to get rid of all routers anyway? go beck to cable internet maybe? i'm not a tech expert but wouldn't getting rid of wifi solve that?
