Depends on Netgear really at the end if the day though Fraser I suppose. Like any company if sales are not high on older expensive tech they stop selling them.

Let’s say it was EOL then I take it the security updates would stop as that’s down the NG to supply them which becomes an issue.

EOL means end of security patches at a point too, so the router will become vulnerable, like the R7500 which wasn't patched for a serious security issue.

Yeah they might stop selling them, not sure about that, haven't heard anything.

But I do know we're still updating it. Hopefully Netgear will continue to provide patches to us for the backend.
