The reason the FCC is only allowing the sale of state approved routers in the US?

That's because Xfinity offers motion sensing as a feature, which requires this tech in the router. Presumably it's configurable and costs extra to turn on.

It's a "costs extra feature" for the customer. But, they have access to it regardless of whether it's "turned on". It's never turned off for them. And, if that puts me in tin-foil hat territory, so be it.
