On August 4, 2025, the Bangladesh Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (BTRC) revoked its previous decision to suspend the ban on the import, production, and sale of single-band Wi-Fi routers. A single-band router refers to a Wi-Fi router that operates on only one frequency band, typically 2.4 GHz.

The ban, originally issued in November 2024, stipulates that all ISM band Wi-Fi routers sold in Bangladesh should support both the 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz bands. In May 2025, the BTRC announced a pause in the decision to provide a transition period for industry stakeholders. The announcement to reinstate the ban on single-band routers also requires that routers must mandate support for IPv6 technology.
