Not a dupe really. Those are FCC links about a covered list, not directly about a ban. Some topics are better off being covered redundantly from multiple angles.

The best router to use would be one with a foundation-controlled active open-source firmware that works, although ideally the hardware assembly too should be open source.

Yep, providing front line comms to Russia in the Ukraine war as well as being gifted a virtual oligopoly by the US government is quite the win for their profits.
