The Biden administration is weighing a ban on TP-Link routers, which control about 65% of the US router market, citing national security risks tied to China. Multiple federal agencies including Commerce, Defense, and Justice have investigated the company since December 2023. TP-Link Systems, headquartered in California but with 11,000 employees in China, denies being controlled by the Chinese government. The company was founded in Shenzhen in 1996 and split into two entities in 2024 amid congressional pressure. Lawmakers worry about router vulnerabilities and potential cyberattacks, while the Justice Department separately probes possible predatory pricing. Over 300 internet providers currently distribute TP-Link routers to customers nationwide. **Source:** [CNET](https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/controversy-brews-us-government-targets-banning-top-wi-fi-router/)
