America’s gambling machine runs on tech even as router ban looms

A federal move announced Monday (March 23) targets new consumer-grade routers produced in foreign countries entering the US market, not the devices already in homes. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) added those routers to its Covered List, which blocks new models from receiving the equipment authorization required for import and sale. The agency says the change does not affect routers consumers already own or models that were previously approved, meaning existing devices can remain in use.
