FCC rejects TP-Link again over Wi-Fi 8 router certification

The FCC accused TP-Link of submitting false or incorrect information in equipment authorization applications for four router models, including high-end Archer units, and found three exceeded allowed power levels. The findings block TP-Link's push to sell Wi-Fi 8 gear in the US amid scrutiny of its China ties.

• FCC cited false or incorrect data in applications for four TP-Link router models
• Three of the four routers exceeded permitted power levels
• TP-Link said it will work with the FCC to resolve technical questions
• TP-Link earlier announced a $1 billion joint venture with Key Tronic to build Wi-Fi 8 routers in the US
