NETGEAR Receives Conditional Approval from the FCC for Consumer Routers
What This Means for You and Your Home
To our Valued Customers:
We’re pleased to share that NETGEAR is the first retail consumer router company to receive conditional approval from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) as a trusted consumer router company. We hope this recognition gives you added peace of mind — knowing that the network powering your home meets rigorous standards.
For context, in March 2026, the FCC called for stronger safety and security standards for consumer routers based upon a risk assessment issued by the federal government.
This aligns with our security-first approach, and we believe the steps the FCC are taking will help ensure the security of your digital front door and home networking products.
As a U.S. founded and headquartered company, NETGEAR is aligned with the vision for a more secure digital future for our customers. For the last thirty years, we have been, and continue to be, committed to leading the consumer router category for the United States and setting the bar for quality, performance, innovation and security.
Your trust means everything to us, and we remain committed to delivering the excellence that your home network deserves.
