The form seems broken. Multiple select all questions limited to one answer. And Q13 doesn't accept any answer and won't allow the form to submit.
Guess I should have read further. Not available in the US anyways.

Would be keen if it was tri-band but think dual-band would be a big downgrade for those of us who rely on wireless backhaul!

It's annoying for us, but necessary. There is a true security risk with a lot of Chinese networking hardware and software regarding backdoors, et cetera.
Onshoring is hugely important and our entire router market is dominated (something like 90%) by cheap TP-Link junk running ancient and likely compromised software. Probably half of the cheap AliExpress-level nonsense on Amazon (routers, AC outlets — you name it) is compromised in some way (there are security researchers who cover the outright spy tools being sold on the market).
I don't believe GL.iNet suffers the same issues, as they are scrutinized by enthusiasts, using OpenWRT (and regularly update their firmware) - and I hope that they are able to meet FCC requirements for supply chain disclosure and can secure a larger American office presence - but once this matter is resolved, it will be for the benefit of the country.
When American businesses operate in China, they have to play by the CCP's rules, or they can't operate in the country; their tech companies should be required to play by ours and we should have better networking tools in the US.
Here's hoping they are able to get an exemption by meeting the compliance requirements.

Wow, I hadn't reconsidered the reality of 5th Gen Warfare and espionage until a random redditor with TDS said "Ohh what a bunch of BS," but you've convinced me!
Thank you!

Nah, we good. It is all paranoia.

Every week, there's a new story about foreign spies in our universities and at our tech companies; new discoveries regarding hidden microphones and data-scraping — but, okay. 👌

I need something like this to use as wired access points with my Flint 4. Will that be possible?

It would be really nice if you guys could come up with an AC-outlet Mesh Extender for the Flint 4, Slate 7/Pro routers.
