ROUTERS Act

The ROUTERS Act (S 244) requires the Secretary of Commerce to study national security risks posed by consumer routers and modems made by companies owned or controlled by certain foreign countries designated under U.S. law. This study specifically targets devices designed, manufactured, or supplied by entities linked to "covered countries" (as defined in federal law). The Secretary must submit a report to Congress within one year of the bill’s enactment detailing the findings. The bill does not impose new restrictions or requirements but mandates this assessment to inform future policy decisions.
