All telecom equipment has "legal intercept" hooks to allow full monitoring by law enforcement in whatever jurisdiction the devices are sold in. You don't need special backdoor chips, the backdoors in telecom equipment are a feature, often legally mandated.
These routers are also often riddled with bugs that are well known to any well funded intelligence group. No need for special chips.
These are the bugs that intelligence agencies are paying for: https://zerodium.com/program.html https://zerodium.com/program.html With these bugs they get all the access they need.

You don't need special backdoor chips Aren't the data on chips and with telecoms pretty different? Feels like government would want to monitor what someone is doing on their computer and their communications.

None of that is in dispute and everyone of relevance knows it. However that's not the point I was making which is that at the highest level of intergovernmental spying things are different. Simply, sleeper backdoors are invisible to all but the perpetrator and they act stenographically when the perpetrator has the need. The technology may change but there's nothing new in this approach, it's centuries old and has a proven track record.
