Authorities in the US are considering a ban on TP-Link internet routers over national security concerns.

Investigators at the Commerce, Defense , and Justice departments have all launched probes into the company.

The company holds roughly 65 percent of the US router market for homes and small businesses.

In October Microsoft disclosed a network of compromised network devices mostly manufactured by TP-link that are regularly targeted by a Chinese government-linked hacking campaign.
