The 2nd article in Ars Technica is better, but still misleading. The Wired
article is similar in at least that they're implying it impacts routers when
it impacts any device with a 5Ghz radio (which is all modern wifi chips).
Anybody who hasn't sent in a comment to the FCC I'd encourage you to do so.
