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.

      We don’t lol

      Electronics manufacture of any kind has been heavily outsourced since at least 1995.

      It depends on their version the fcc is considering “manufactured”. If they mean it in a literal sense, there’s pretty much just starlink. If they mean it can be an American company but put together overseas then there’s plenty, like Netgear and Linksys.

      I think the last time that was the case, they were called modems and made by US Robotics.

      Shortly after the chips and components started coming from Japan and eventually Taiwan.
