The FCC decided that all foreign-made consumer-grade Internet routers are prohibited from receiving FCC authorization and are therefore prohibited from being imported for use or sale in the US. (infosec.exchange)

There are. Just need to shop in the business side of the store and not consumer. At worst pro-sumer.

    there are some but they are definitely in the minority. also this regulation is focused on home and soho devices, it specifically mentiones tp-link, which is really not enterprise brand.

    also the regulation from what i found is so vague, that i suspect that for the author router equals to "that white box with antenna sitting on my table" and is very likely they have no clue about difference between l2 and l3 layer and what router actually is.

    You're being pretty stubborn about your positions but you're misinformed/ignorant.

    There are SO many Wi-Fi access points that aren't routers, but a combo router is what most home users buy or get from their ISP. So that's what you think is "most" when in reality the consumer market is dwarfed by commercial.

    TP-Link has Omada which is not as enterprise as CISCO but it definitely supports small and medium sized businesses, which are at the greatest risk to vulnerabilities due to low IT department skills.
