Netgear: Don't Be Fooled, TP-Link Is a Chinese Company

▤ Summary

Netgear accuses TP-Link of misleading U.S. buyers about its ties to China and says the confusion has cost Netgear tens of millions of dollars in sales. The dispute sits inside a broader legal fight that began when TP-Link sued Netgear over an alleged smear campaign tied to national-security concerns. Netgear argues that TP-Link still relies heavily on Chinese subsidiaries and manufacturing, while TP-Link says Netgear is distorting the facts. The case also intersects with FCC restrictions on foreign-made Wi-Fi routers and TP-Link’s effort to shift manufacturing to the United States.
