US congressional committee on China urges Americans to ditch TP-Link routers

A U.S. congressional committee on Wednesday urged Americans to remove Chinese-made wireless routers from their homes, including those made by TP-Link, calling them a security threat that opened the door for China to hack U.S. critical infrastructure. The House of Representatives' select committee on China has pushed the Commerce Department to investigate China's TP-Link Technology Co, which according to research firm IDC, is the top seller of WiFi routers internationally by unit volume.
