NETGEAR first retail consumer router company to receive conditional FCC approval under new foreign-made router rules
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Conditional approval per FCC's March 2026 Covered List regulations allows NETGEAR to launch new routers and update software indefinitely.
- Competitors without approval can still sell existing products but face a March 2027 software-update limitation.
- NETGEAR manufactures its consumer routers in Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand and no longer uses components from China.
- All current NETGEAR Orbi and Nighthawk routers are covered by the approval; no required replacement or upgrade for customers.
