  This must mean the ones already in our homes and offices are perfectly safe.

  I wonder if this means the rest of the world gets cheap routers for a while, or whether prices go up because the demand isn’t there to make them available at volume anymore.

    Nothing, because laws are only for wealthy entities that can afford to pay the tedious fines. Us proletariat poors have to comply with this shit while they look down at us.

  People here: “Hahha, I’m so smart, I’m going to flash openwrt/opnsense and use whatever PC as a router”

  They want you to do that. This law exists for a reason, to decrease use of foreign proprietary, potentially unsafe software in critical infrastructure.

  By using openwrt you’re doing what lawmakers want you to do.
