All NETGEAR products go through a natural progression, eventually reaching the end of their product life cycle due to factors such as evolving market demands, advancements in technology, and product maturity.

When this occurs, the product enters its End of Service (EOS) stage. At this point, it will no longer receive firmware updates, maintenance releases, or security updates. Staying informed about these milestones is essential to safeguarding your network and ensuring continued connectivity.

What Does End of Service (EOS) Mean for You?

At NETGEAR, your safety and peace of mind are central to everything we do. In today’s digital world, staying secure means keeping your network up to date with the latest technology and protections.

When a product reaches its End of Service (EOS) stage, NETGEAR discontinues firmware updates and maintenance releases (including security updates.) This policy applies to products that are at the end of their product lifecycle, are technologically obsolete, and have not been manufactured for three or more years (or longer where required by law).

Older products that are past their EOS date may no longer provide the protection and performance you deserve. To help you stay informed, NETGEAR provides a 90-day notice on this site for products nearing their EOS date.

By understanding the lifecycle of your product and upgrading when necessary, you can help ensure your network remains reliable, secure, and ready for the future.
