Investigators at the Commerce, Defense, and Justice departments have all launched probes into the company, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/politics\/national-security\/us-ban-china-router-tp-link-systems-7d7507e6?st=SEX5iL&amp;reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink\">according to the <em>Wall Street Journal<\/em><\/a>, with TP-Link reportedly being subpoenaed by an office of the Commerce Department.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">The <em>WSJ<\/em> reports that US authorities may ban the sale of TP-Link routers within the country next year.

The company\u2019s market dominance is at least partly driven by the extreme low cost of its routers. The US Justice Department is investigating whether TP-Link sells products for less than they cost to produce in violation of a law that prohibits attempts at monopolies, according to the <em>WSJ<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leading-160 -tracking-1 selection:bg-franklin-20 dark:text-white dark:selection:bg-blurple [&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-franklin dark:[&amp;_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-black dark:[&amp;_a]:shadow-underline-white\">The <em>WSJ\u2019<\/em>s sources also say that TP-Link often fails to address security flaws that are routinely flagged in routers shipped to customers.
