On February 20, 2026, the FCC posted the Further Proposed Rules (FNPRM) section of FCC 26-1 on the Federal Register website, which proposes to amend the rules in Part 15 regarding 6 GHz (5.925–7.125 GHz) license-exempt devices. The proposed revision focuses on broadening the existing requirement to prohibit the use of 6GHz low-power indoor equipment (LPI) on ships, which will allow the use of LPI equipment on cruise ships. It also allows automatic frequency control (AFC) devices to account for up to 6dB of building penetration loss. Since allowing the use on cruise ships will require the label to be updated, the requirement will affect the labeling of wireless access points and wireless router equipment if it becomes effective in the future.
