TP-Link Systems Inc. founder Jeffrey Chao received the sole approval for a "Gold Card" Visa program, a development occurring as the Commerce Department investigates the California-based ethernet cabling technology company for national security concerns related to its Chinese ties, Bloomberg reported on April 23, 2026, citing unnamed sources. Earlier, on April 14, TP-Link Systems addressed a security flaw identified in select legacy Wi-Fi routers, which the UK's National Cyber Security Centre, the US FBI, and Germany's Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution described in advisory notices. This followed TP-Link's assertion on April 2 that its India unit is part of its US entity, which split from China in 2024, refuting claims of being Chinese amid potential bans on its CCTV cameras in India. These events unfold as the FCC tightened supply chain security rules on March 31, prohibiting new foreign-made consumer routers and imposing strict domestic manufacturing demands on vendors as part of a US telecom infrastructure sovereignty push. Previously, on March 29, several US states were pursuing measures to secure communications networks, including proposed laws to curb the use of Chinese-made equipment and services in state infrastructure.
