The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has identified potential certification violations regarding TP-Link Systems routers. According to the agency's engineering division, documentation for four specific models appears to contain inaccurate or false information.
Testing conducted by the regulator revealed that three of the examined devices exceeded established power output limits. The FCC noted that such excessive signal strength can interfere with other equipment, including neighboring routers, garage door openers, and public safety communication systems.
The affected models span various categories and price points, ranging from a high-performance Archer series gaming router priced at approximately $600 to an entry-level portable device costing around $140.
The FCC has issued a formal request for a detailed response and supporting documentation, with a deadline set for October 30. Furthermore, the commission's national security team has been tasked with reviewing the situation.
