Dates and sources

Calculated ASUS’s firmware page marks this model as end-of-life without a date, so I use the release date of its final firmware (May 18, 2021).

Key dates

Release
By January 2018 at the latest
The maker gives no launch date. This is the month of the first update: the launch was in it or before.
Last update
May 18, 2021 · version 3.0.0.4.382.52545
End of support
May 18, 2021 · calculated by us from the maker’s data
How I calculated it: ASUS’s firmware page for this model says it reached end of life and its firmware will no longer be updated, next to the final firmware 3.0.0.4.382.52545. ASUS gives no separate date, so we use that final firmware’s release date (2021-05-18).
