End of Service - Consumer Products

At NETGEAR, your safety and peace of mind are central to everything we do. Staying secure means keeping your NETGEAR products up to date with the latest technology and protections which include firmware updates and maintenance releases. When NETGEAR products have not been manufactured for at least three years (or longer where required by law), there may be a variety of technological or business reasons that the product has become obsolete. When this occurs, the product enters its End of Service (EOS) stage. An EOS product will no longer receive firmware updates, maintenance releases, or security updates. If you have a NETGEAR product that has entered EOS, we encourage you to replace it with a comparable NETGEAR product as soon as possible.

Staying informed about EOS is essential to safeguarding your network and ensuring continued connectivity. Register your NETGEAR products to receive EOS alerts by email and text. You can also search for your NETGEAR product or browse the below list. When you search or browse, we provide whether the product has reached EOS, whether it is within 90 days of EOS, or if it is neither.

EOS Frequently Asked Questions

  • What happens if I continue to use my product after the End of Service (EoS) date?

    By continuing to use your product after its EoS date, you accept the risk of using a product that is no longer supported by NETGEAR. This means the product will not receive security updates, making it more susceptible to vulnerabilities and potentially putting your home network at a greater risk of cyberattacks.

  • What should I do to ensure my connections and information are protected and secure?

    If your product has reached its EoS date, we recommend upgrading to a newer model. Modern products are equipped with the latest security features, firmware updates, and performance enhancements to help safeguard your connections and personal data against emerging threats. Upgrading can also provide faster speeds, a more reliable connection, and added functionality, giving you peace of mind that your network is secure and ready for the future.

  • Why is it important to stay updated with the latest technology?

    Staying updated ensures that your network is equipped to handle modern cybersecurity threats while maintaining optimal performance. Older products that no longer receive updates might leave your network vulnerable. By upgrading, you can continue to enjoy safe, reliable, and high-performing connectivity.

  • Where can I find more information about the best NETGEAR upgrade products for me?

    Personalized recommendations are available through Concierge, a presales live chat feature on NETGEAR.com product pages. Additional resources to help you select the right WiFi Solution, WiFi Router, or WiFi Mesh System are also available on our website.

  • What should I do with my old EoS product?

    We recommend that you reset your EoS NETGEAR product to factory settings, unregister it from your MyNETGEAR account, and then dispose of it through a local e-waste recycler. If you enabled the Remote Access feature through the NETGEAR genie mobile or desktop app, disable Remote Access before factory resetting and recycling your EoS product. Many electronics retailers, thrift stores, and waste management services provide free e-waste recycling services you can use to dispose of your EoS product.
