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.
