US Congressional Committee on 4th March, 2025, Wednesday urged it's citizens to abandon Chinese wifi routers, primarily, those made by TP-Link, calling them a security threat that opened the door for China for cyber espionage. It raised concerns that routers from Chinese manufacturers could be exploited by the PRC for surveillance, data breaches and/or hacking attempts on American networks. 

US authorities are also considering the ban on the company's (TP-Link) routers in the country, according to some key media reports. TP Link however, has not responded to any of these allegations yet.
