TP-Link Announces Plans for US-Based Wi-Fi Router Assembly
Following a March 2026 FCC ban on consumer routers manufactured outside the United States, TP-Link has entered into a Letter of Intent with Key Tronic to assemble its next-generation Wi-Fi products domestically. The agreement aims to begin production in Corinth, Mississippi as early as 2027, pending regulatory approval. This move aligns with broader U.S. efforts to bolster domestic manufacturing and reduce reliance on foreign supply chains for critical infrastructure components like networking equipment. TP-Link's decision reflects a strategic shift toward local assembly amid heightened scrutiny of imported tech products. The partnership is expected to support the production of Wi-Fi 8 routers, which are anticipated to be among the most advanced consumer-grade wireless solutions available.
