I am confused, this is just a 5G router right? Like the 5 year old Huawei CPE Pro 2 but with wifi7, poe and eSim?

This is perfect for me, who want to avoid Chinese-branded devices as much as possible.

Right, but do you know what radio chips they are using inside?

I would guess they are chinese...

>>alt227+pT
Why would you guess Chinese? Broadcom, Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Realtek are the typical answers for radio chips, no? None of whom are Chinese? There certainly are Chinese radio chips, such as from Espressif or Huawei, but they aren't especially popular in APs or anything

Most of those chips are made in TSMC or samsung foundries, the majority of which are currently in China or South Asia.

>>alt227+Bt1
The majority of their foundries are in Taiwan and South Korea which, to avoid politics, is outside what most people mean when they worry about tech made in China (they think about the PRC).
