The only slight problem with this is that there are no routers made in the USA.

    Well, you can run your own router on your own hardware but other than that, agreed.

    My point was mostly that the concept of a router can be executed by any computer with more than one NIC.

    Trump isn’t disallowing computers from outside the US, surely, only stuff that looks like routers. They’ll have a hard time defining what a router is.

    Yeah, I wonder how the dumbasses licking his boots will feel about brands like Qotom/etc making high interface mini pcs- whether they consider them "routers" under this. I hope we don't have to go back to what I did 10 years ago- cheap intel desktops with 3-4 nics.
