TP-Link Shifts Wi-Fi Router Assembly to Mississippi

Facing a restrictive federal mandate on foreign-made networking hardware, TP-Link has signed a letter of intent with Key Tronic to localize its production. The company intends to begin assembling high-speed Wi-Fi 8 routers in Corinth, Mississippi, by early next year, pending final regulatory clearance from the FCC.

TP-Link Shifts Wi-Fi Router Assembly to Mississippi

The strategic pivot follows a March ruling by the Federal Communications Commission that effectively bars the import of certain consumer routers manufactured outside the United States. By partnering with the domestic firm Key Tronic, TP-Link aims to secure its supply chain and maintain market access for its upcoming generation of connectivity devices. If the regulatory process proceeds as anticipated, the Corinth facility will serve as the primary hub for this transition, signaling a broader shift for hardware manufacturers navigating new domestic assembly requirements.
