Is the D-Link DIR-X4860 router still supported?

Status summary

Dead

No. It no longer gets updates or service.

D-Link lists every hardware revision and firmware version of the DIR-X4860 (sold outside the US and Canada) as end of life since 24 Dec 2024: no more firmware or security updates. In Oct 2026 D-Link published an unauthenticated remote stack buffer overflow in its web server that will not be fixed, so D-Link says to retire and replace it.

What it means

The maker has ended support. New security problems will not be fixed, and features that depend on the maker's servers may stop working, or may already have stopped.

What to do

  • A router without security fixes puts every device on your network at risk. Replace it as soon as you can.
  • Check the source below for any last firmware or advice from the maker.
  • Before you recycle it, reset it to factory settings to remove your Wi-Fi passwords.
  • Choose a replacement with a published end-of-support date.
