Dates and sources
The maker’s end date (December 2029) is still ahead, but there has been no update for about 4 years since October 2022. That is longer than my 18-month rule for routers, so I flag that updates may have stopped.

- Change the default admin password.
- Turn off remote (WAN) management, WPS and UPnP unless you need them.
- Use WPA2 or WPA3 for Wi-Fi with a long passphrase.
