Welcome to episode 371 (“Router Bans, AI Agents”) of the EdTech Situation Room from March 25, 2026, where technology news met educational analysis. This week, Dr. Jason Neiffer (aicentrist.com) and Dr. Wesley Fryer (wesfryer.com) discussed the FCC’s recent ban on foreign-made Wi-Fi routers and its implications for home network security and the IoT. The hosts explored the power of agentic AI through a demo of OpenClaw for automated course creation, Google’s experimental Flash-Light browser, and professional image generation workflows for school branding. Additional topics included insights from Oprah’s AI special, SpaceX’s push for faster Starlink upload speeds, and the evolving legal landscape for social media and AI-generated content.
