Unintentionally shutting down ai data centers. Lol, we know this will only be selectively enforced!

Well it does say consumer-grade. Not sure what the reasoning there is, as backdoors in enterprise equipment would be much worse for national security

Producers of consumer-grade routers that receive Conditional Approval from DoW or DHS can continue to receive FCC equipment authorizations. Interested applicants are encouraged to submit applications to conditional-approvals@fcc.gov

A very speculative, cynical interpretation: something of value will be exchanged for the privilege of conditional approval.

Enterprise grade equipment comes with entire teams dedicated to securing it, with various overlapping services intended to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities. Along with enterprise level agreements around usage and support.

Consumer grade is just fire and forget, you're on your own.

You're absolutely right. Legalese makes fools of us all.
