Linksys is owned by Belkin (www.belkin.com), which is owned by Foxconn (www.fit-foxconn.com) . During 2021, Foxconn sold a majority interest of Linksys to Fortinet (www.fortinet.com).

The separation involved the creation of new staffing, desktop processes, management controls, policies required of a global enterprise having complex intercompany, inventory and logistics requirements.
