WASHINGTON, March 23 (Reuters) - The Federal ‌Communications Commission said ‌on Monday it was ​banning the import of all new foreign-made consumer ‌routers, the ⁠latest crackdown on Chinese-made electronic ⁠gear.

Routers are boxes that connect ​computers, ​phones, ​and smart ‌devices to the internet, and lawmakers have raised security concerns about Chinese-made ‌routers. The ​FCC order ​does ​not impact ‌imports or use ​of ​existing models, but will ban ​new ‌ones.
