About a year after the notion was first tossed about, the push for the US government to ban a very popular brand of router is gaining momentum. Last December, the US Justice, Commerce, and Defense departments initiated an investigation into Chinese-owned TP-Link due to security concerns. Now, according to a report from The Washington Post, several government agencies are officially backing a proposal by the Commerce Department to ban the sale of all of the company's networking devices in the US.

In a trial conducted alongside an unnamed industry partner, the company said data transmission using a "prototype" device. This test successfully validated both the Wi-Fi 8 beacon and data throughput, according to TP-Link. "This underscores the feasibility of the technology and marks a critical milestone in global Wi-Fi 8 development," the company said in a statement. "TP-Link is taking the next important step towards the highly reliable wireless performance that the industry requires, given the increasing availability of devices and bandwidth-intensive applications."

The BE3600 Wi-Fi 7 Travel Router delivers up to 3.6 Gbps, supports up to 90 devices, and simplifies public Wi-Fi access via a tether app.
