No, you're supposed to guess how much to bribe. They make more that way. And then after you've bribed one person, keep the ink wet because you'll need to bribe someone else soon!
Thus far Netgear has been keeping up technologically, but only because of good competition. The moment this competition goes away, so will the innovation, and we will left with obsolete hardware.
The NSA appears to be systematically compromising multiple government agencies like a bad virus. NIST and now the FCC appear compromised.
Can someone please decompile, reverse engineer, and assess the code of the Netgear firmware to find backdoors? Odds are that they go back a decade, meaning that both old and new firmware is likely to have the vulnerabilities. Look for code that is common among firmwares. What is the magic packet that executes arbitrary instructions and opens the door? The firmware has got to be in C and C++, so there is heavy opportunity for serious flaws.
For the sake of efficiency, FCC should publish
1. The name of the person your company must bribe
2. How much it would cost you.

Everyone knows how much the bribe is: Collusion! Cartels! Calamity!
No one knows how much the bribe is? "Relationships are Important", "Cost of Doing Business", "An Investment in Us"
evidence suggests, however, its still laughably cheap to buy so dont expect more than 1% of annual revenue.
Aren't most routers foreign made?
So a ban is basically shutting down the router market.
And exempting Netgear is arbitrary and hypocritical. Essentially, government has anointed a marketplace winner.

Golden router or peace board donation
because Netgear is willing to do what the US wants in regards to its mass surveillance projects.

Donation and ICE agent backdoor installed.
Now you know which brand is really compromised
Now everyone knows there is a backdoor in Netgear.
