The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has warned TP-Link that several of its router models exceed established power limits. The regulator claims the company provided inaccurate information during the certification process for four specific devices.
The affected products range from high-end gaming routers priced at approximately $600 to entry-level travel models costing around $140. FCC testing confirmed that three of these models violate power output standards.
The FCC issued letters on October 15 requiring TP-Link to submit a detailed response and supporting documentation by October 30. The agency has requested that the company involve national security experts in the ongoing review process.
A TP-Link representative stated that the company is investigating the findings and will conduct retesting if necessary. The firm characterized the incidents as isolated deviations, noting that these four models account for less than 0.33 percent of its total US sales this year.
TP-Link, which separated its US and Chinese operations in 2024, is currently seeking regulatory approval to sell new router models in the US. The company has proposed a $1 billion investment in domestic manufacturing facilities to address concerns from US authorities.
